A thoughtful thread on the history of Older Scots as a language, from @readolderscots: a new project helmed by the fantastic @rhiannonpurdie dedicated to promoting access to Older Scots texts and to resources to help read and teach them in the classroom. #medievaltwitter
What is Older Scots? Where was it spoken? How is it related to #Scots now?
THREAD: 🧵
Scottish Text Soc retweeted
Thanks @METS_Texts for the shout out! A glossed edition of Lyndsay’s Squyer Meldrum co-edited by our very own @rhiannonpurdie can be found on the TEAMS Middle English Texts website
Check out the Read Older Scots project site for links to Older Scots-related resources as well as more information on the inclusion (or lack thereof) of Older Scots texts in Scottish secondary classrooms from the Older Scots for Modern Scots initiative.
