A previous toot from when I was on .art.
"We called them the Rob Sorby’s cos they uised shairp impliments like saws, n chissels, n aixes o steel what made them tae be feared.
Hail wids o oor kin, the size o a shire, wid come doon in a day. We still canni sleep, even in winter.
Oot o fear. Fear o them that are no longer here."

Oh well to go with me transferring from mastodon.art and being new here on dot Scot. Here is an #introduction. My #profile banner pic is from this image below which #illustrates some #Scottish #bakery goods. Each one of which I am very fond. It was made originally to illustrate the #Scottish word deeleerit. https://stooryduster.co.uk/deleerit/ I'm interested in the #environment, #illustration #technology, #education, #communications #art #ScienceFiction #community #caricature and #language #ScotsLanguage.

Peter and the Wolf by the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra is a fabulous album. Perfect fun for kids and adults, and damn it swings so hard!

I’m a bit disappointed that the words “tattie howking” haven’t been uttered. Though to be fair I don’t know if Ayrshire folk would say howk. #Scotland #Agriculture #ScottishFood #ScottishAgriculture #Scots #ScotsLanguage #Farming #Tatties

My Scots Language bookshop website is working
https://chrisgilmour.co.uk/shop/
I don't actually sell anything, its just links to Amazon, Waterstones or Abebooks, but the interface is sortable and you can filter by things like regional dialect or category.
But as I've been moaning about recently, this offering is better than the support for Scots language on Amazon and Waterstones, they don't know what they're selling, but I do.

Frustrated that Amazon and Waterstones don't deal with Scots language books in a favourable manner, I have assembled my own pseudo bookshop website.
Clicking on the book images takes you to Amazon via affiliate links, and also there are other links to either Waterstones, Abebooks or the publishers own website.

Lourd on my hert as winter lies
The state that Scotland’s in the day.
Spring to the North has aye come slow
But noo dour winter’s like to stay
For guid,
And no’ for guid!

93 followers · 250 posts · Server mastodon.scotI have finally got round to writing a SubStack article about measuring the proximity of the Scots and English languages, and how this has changed over the last three centuries, using a corpus poetry rhyming words.
https://chrisgilmour.substack.com/p/temporal-analysis-of-the-proximity
Essentially, the amount Scots has in common with English hasn't changed over the last two hundred years.
