Synopsis
The Kist/A' Chiste provides a selection of Scots and Gaelic texts carefully chosen to meet the needs of language work in the 5-14 curriculum and beyond. This anthology contains 160 pages of poetry, prose and drama. All the main dialects of Scots are represented and glossaries of difficult words are provided. There are also some texts in Gaelic with translations. The emphasis in the highly illustrated texts is on modern culture, although traditional literature has not been neglected. Well received when it was first published in 1996, The Kist/A' Chiste - Anthology continues to be in demand by teachers and pupils. The new edition, published exclusively by Learning and Teaching Scotland, ensures that this unique collection of texts remains readily available for schools in Scotland. Copies are available from Learning and Teaching Scotland. For schools wishing to order in bulk, class set prices are newly available.
