Product Description
This dictionary is a fascinating and up-to-date guide to the language that developed alongside English in the northern parts of the British Isles. In addition to introducing such well-known words as dreich, sassenach, kirk and kittle, it contains thousands of the other words that have enriched Scotland's cultural heritage over the centuries. A delight for everyone interested in Scottish heritage!

Great little guide February 1, 2007

Don't think they speak Anglish in Burns Country, my friends... don't get caught with your linguistic pants down in Ayrshire, or Glasgow, scratching your head wondering why all these nice people keep talking about some meal called dinna and some guy named ken who seems to be on everybody's mind. Buy yerself a nice, wee easy-to-carry pocket guide of the Mither Tongue. A good one to put together with Hauld Yer Wheest for your trip to Scotland. (See my other reviews of Scots language guides.)
