Thae bits o’ ma wark are maistly aboot thi leid o’ Scotland (the Scots language).

At ae tid, Scoats wis ane o’ thi three leids – alang wi’Scots Hielan an’ Southron – spekit in Scotland. Bit thair’s nae mony fowk yaise it noo.

Ah’m howpin ma wark’ll mak fowk think on a wheen o’maitters.

Ah’m ettlin’ tae mak’ fowk wha ken thi leid consither whit wey they dinnae eese it muckle noo.

Ah’m ettlin’ tae mak’ fowk consither some o’ thi scrievers wha’ eesed it.

Ah’m howpin’ ‘at fowk’ll commun ane wi’ ilk ither anent thi leid an a’ thit it ettles tae the culture o’Scotland.
