Scots The Language Of The People By Carl MacDougall

In his landmark television series, Carl MacDougall told the story of the language, its decline and revival and pointed a way forward. Here he features the work of almost fifty writers covering more than 800 years. Scotland's greatest writers are here, alongside the anonymous folk-song and ballad singers and the unknown writers whose work appeared in the nineteenth-century newspapers and magazines. And, like the series it accompanies, this book is full of surprises, telling the story of the language with fine examples and adding a valuable contribution to the debate about its future.
