This is a good grammar of Scots but I think more emphasis 
should be placed on the social issues surrounding the Scots 
dialect/language - for instance, the use of the spelling system 
to disguise the similarity between English and Scots 
pronunciation, and the fact that large numbers of people in 
the north of England can understand most of Scots. In the 
light of this, linguistically perhaps Scots is a hard-to-follow 
dialect of English rather than a language outright.

What a super page I just stumbled on...and I was only 
looking for a reference in Shetland regarding the Up Helly A'. 
As a true-blooded, Doric-speaking lassie, I would be 
interested in hearing from anyone wishing to find out about 
my wee North East....cold just now....corner of Scotland

Great info - my son is doing a culture report on Scotland 
since his ancestors (McKelvy) came from there. We found 
lots of information to help with the report. Thanks!
