Scottish Greens lodge proposals for 'equal respect' for Scots and Gaelic

“Scots and Gaelic are Scotland’s languages, but centuries of deliberate attempts to destroy them both have pushed them to the very margins of modern life."

“Gaelic is on the verge of extinction, but it can recover and thrive with the right support."

#Scotstober word 31 baigie. I've an idea for using all three turnip Scots words regarding genocidal ethnic hatred but I'll do it in a weeks time. So here's one for baigie. Even a turnip contributing makes AI more intelligent than AI on its own. Plus we had a cosmic burst from the sun this week. But we survived.

Now looking through Selkirk Presbytery records (freely available online at ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk). And marvelling at one 1715 spelling of Buccleuch. So much more interesting! #Scots #ScotsLeid #Palaeography #ScottishHistory #ScottishBorders #ChurchCourts #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #Scotland #History #Handwriting #PlaceNames #DukeOfBuccleuch #Buccleuch

Today’s arrival. Time for a reread. I last read this in 1998, as part of my first Open University course, about culture in Renaissance Europe 1450-1600. #Scotland #ScottishHistory #History #Plays #Theatre #16thCentury #SixteenthCentury #Culture #Scots #ScotsLeid #ScotsScrievin #Renaissance #Europe #OpenUniversity #OU

Pleased to see the March 2024 issue of Burns Chronicle is newly out from EUP. This issue includes my book review of "Scottish Poetry, 1730-1830" edited by Daniel Cook - a review free for all to read online. In a nutshell I really liked it, though since I was asked to write about 1000 words in my review I said much more than that! https://www.euppublishing.com/toc/burns/133/1 #ScottishLiterature #ScottishPoetry #RobertBurns #Poetry #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #Scots #ScotsLeid #Gaelic #Poems #BookReview #Scotland

Catching #KateHumble in south #Ayrshire, and she’s learning about Ayrshire #potatoes. I’m a bit disappointed that the words “tattie howking” haven’t been uttered. Though to be fair I don’t know if Ayrshire folk would say howk. #Scotland #Agriculture #ScottishFood #ScottishAgriculture #Scots #ScotsLanguage #Farming #Tatties #ScotsLeid

Checking some legal paperwork, and wryly amused at having - again - to correct the word deputy written wrongly instead of depute. The latter is still used in Scotland for someone in a deputy post. But the number of Scottish professionals we’ve had to correct re this … #Scots #ScotsLeid #ScotsLanguage #ScotsScrievin #Language #Scotland

Don't often cross post from my blog, but I've got a guest poem by kind permission of @AlbertKirkJr . He shared it on here last week and I liked it so much I thought my blog readers would like it too.

Enjoy, and give him a follow if you haven't already.
