| Information |
In the Elphinstone Kist (part
of the Aberdeen University website) you will find a wealth of material in the distinctive
Scots of the North-East, affectionately known as 'the Doric'. Sheena Blackhall, Scottish
Arts Council Creative Writing Fellow in Scots at the Institute, and Les Wheeler, Research
Associate, have worked tirelessly over the last three years to put together this
extraordinary Scots language resource which includes poetry, fiction, drama, song lyric,
reminiscence, and days-in-the-life of all sorts of North-East folk from oil-worker to
hairdresser. Contributors range from established authors to school children, and the
'E-Kist' is a fully searchable and downloadable resource. |
