Reaction to award of Scots Language Publication Grant . . .

“The broad Doric spoken by my grandparents seems to fade further with every passing year, so I am delighted that fresh life is breathed into oor mither tongue by the Scottish Book Trust, allowing Scots dialect writers to be heard from the page, and to entertain and bring pleasure to readers in Scotland and beyond. I am truly honoured that funding has been awarded for publication of my novel, ‘This is What You Get’.”
