Product Description
Product Description
This guide to Scots is a perfect buy for anyone who is intrigued by the expressive Scots language. Besides explaining the meaning of Scottish words and phrases, it also contains features about aspects of Scottish culture from the bagpipes to William Wallace.
This wee guide to Scots is essential for those interested in one of the UK’s most fascinating dialects, and is a lively introduction for those scunnered by the vocabulary used north of the border.
Scots has a rich history and is spoken all the way from the bothies and braes of the Hielands to the hoatching howfs of Auld Reekie. This guide not only picks the best of the bunch, but also contains the stories behind the words and informative articles on Scottish culture.
So, if you don’t want to get into a guddle, or are simply feeling gallus, then this book is a must. Dinna be dauntit: learn to blether awa’ in Scots!

Very good product, quickly dispatched and contains exactly what I required.
This was a product I could not find easily, even though I live in Scotland!
Great words and phrases to teach my baby when growing up.

I bought this for my French partner, as a wee gift for Christmas, to help him understand some of our more unique words. I don't think he has had a chance to read it yet, because us 'Scots' in the house, haven't put it down yet. We've read it cover to cover, laughed and reminisced over words we had forgotten and learned some we never knew. A lovely little book, well worth a place in any Scottish household.
