This Bloomsbury Academic Collection consists of a wide range of classic titles in linguistics and language studies from our prestigious imprints Frances Pinter, Cassell and The Athlone Press.

This dictionary covers a multitude of Scots words and expressions, some of which have entered into English worldwide, some of which are peculiarly Scottish and communicate much about Scotland’s unique culture and society. Often light in tone, it offers valuable insight into the linguistic development of Scots.
