An excellent way to use Scots using an inter-disciplinary learning approach. 

Using this resource, formerly hosted by Education Scotland, learners will explore the different songs and find out about traditional songs and music; themes in Scottish music; and Scotland's instruments, like the bagpipes and the clarsach.

There’s a short introduction to each song or tune, along with lyrics, musical notation, and of course an audio clip featuring the song.

Learners may wish to:

• learn the lyrics to a traditional song and perform it for the class or at a school assembly;

• look up unfamiliar words using the Scots Dictionary for Schools app;

• listen to the music and identify the instruments used;

• compare traditional songs to modern music and discuss the differences;

• write some lyrics of their own, using Scots;

• involve their relatives by finding out which Scottish songs are familiar to them.
