great - the more request they get the better - and if they see there is a
demand and interest abroad - they may take Scots more seriously. It is an
interesting read to. You can get a copy in English and Scots and compare the
two - which will show how they differ!!  Wording and spelling aside ( there
are disputes about Scots spelling " - I think if you give its name "Makkin
yer voice heard in the Scottish Pairlament" and asking for is in Scots, even
the biggest "dunder heid" ( = idiot ) in the Parliament will realise what
you are requesting. Reinhard/Ron are right in saying that having requests
for it in Scots from abroad will show that the World is watching!!

Thanks to everyone who has requested a copy in Scots - you are doing your
bit to help keep our language alive!!
