100 key words in varieties of Scots

This resource features 100 key words in varieties of Scots from areas across the country.

It has been designed to provide an introduction to Scots and to help learners at any level boost their Scots vocabulary.

The lists of words, phrases, and grammatical features can be enlarged, printed out, and used to create Scots language displays.

They can also be used to supplement daily spelling or literacy work, or as a stimulus for writing.

The lists are particularly useful for illustrating the similarities and differences between varieties of Scots.
