ScotlandsFest: Reviving Scots – The Language They Couldn't Silence

ScotlandsFest: Reviving Scots – The Language They Couldn't Silence
Luath Press / Clive Young Scotland's other national tongue has been misunderstood and (officially) mistreated for centuries. Though weakened by long neglect, Scots stubbornly endures as a rich part of Scotland's everyday speech and culture. Now belatedly on the verge of official recognition, can Scots be rehabilitated as a "proper" minority language like Gaelic? Dr Clive Young, author of Unlocking Scots: The Secret Life of the Scots Language, believes so and leads you on a quest to unveil the hidden history, surprising linguistic verve and feasible future of the language they just couldn't silence. None Age category: 14+
