Scots Language Centre
The Scots Language Centre (Scots: Centre for the Scots Leid[1]) is an organisation that promotes the use of the Scots language.[2] The current director of the Scots Language Centre is Dr Michael Dempster. It receives funding from the Scottish Government.[3]
History[]
In preparation for a new question on the census asking whether residents could understand Scots, the organisation launched a website with example of the language to allow respondents to determine if they could.[4]
In November 2021, the Centre produced a Scots dialectal map of Scotland.[5] In September 2021, the Centre published a guide for writing in Scots.[6]
