Dictionaries of the Scots Language

About

We maintain and develop Dictionaries of the Scots Language online as the nation's authority on the meaning, history and forms of vocabulary of Scots from the beginnings to the present day. We produce smaller lexicographical publications and datasets to meet the needs of particular groups, the needs of the Scottish Government, and for fundraising purposes. We contribute our lexical and lexicographical expertise to publicly-funded projects that aim to support and encourage speakers, readers, writers, teachers and students of Scots.
