Here is an update to last week’s discussion of the the Prologue to Scots by Billy Kay. Here follows my discussion of Chapter 1. Thank you to all the kind people who responded to the last post. I hope I saw all the comments. I don’t think I had my notifications set correctly.

A Reflection on Scots by Billy Kay
Chapter 1 The Mither Tongue?
#scots#scotsleid#scotslanguage
I recently purchased Scots The Mither Tongue (2006) by @billykayscot. I purchased a paperback, and then realized taking notes was easier using an iPad app version. So I ended up buying it twice. (A thread)
As an American, and new to the study of Scots, I’ll reflect on what I’ve learned. Any and all mistakes and misinterpretations are my own. I gladly accept gentle correction.
I will keep quotes from the book to a minimum. Page numbers are from the Apple Books app version.
