I can't offer any suggestions, BUT the subject is fascinating. If
more people take up learning Scots, then once they get past the
basics they're going to be looking for reading material, and this
is the kind of thing that would suit them.

Sandy doesn't say, but I take it that the books he mentions are
long since out of print?

It would be great if new printed editions could be available
for those who don't have access to the Web. (Especially if the
apostrophes could be cleaned out.)

Colin Wilson.
