For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy On My Little Pain was my single favourite read of 2022.
Author: Kirsty
I'm a graduate of Literature and History from the University of Edinburgh -- where I also gained my Msc in Creative Writing. I love to write about Scotland, and I love to write in Scots vernacular.
To this day, I have not made any effort to practise or retain my retinue of Scots poetry and yet I can recite several lines of Burns’ straight off the top of my head.
In today’s winter special Scots in the Wild we explore the best way to “freeze ya f***ing baws aff”, and the right way to swear in Scotland.
In 2020, you might remember a scandal broke – half of the Scots-language articles on Wikipedia had been written by an American teenager to whom Scots was not a native language.
One of my favourite reads of 2020 was a uniquely Scottish tale from Graeme Macrae Burnet, His Bloody Project, published by independent Scottish publisher Saraband.
