Stories in Scots

If you enjoyed the recent visit by story teller Stuart McHardy and want to read a book in the Scots language then you might like to try the following titles:

" The Eejits"- A translation into Scots of 
Roald Dahl's " The Twits" by Matthew Fitt.

Lari Don has translated Burn's classic and wonderful poem " Tam O' Shanter."    Tam has left the pub and is riding home on Meg his mare when he hears about a party worth gatecrashing... but a party in a graveyard!

 

Or why not try " Tam O'Shanter's big Night Oot: Wee Plays in Scots" another offering by Matthew Fitt.
