Folks,

The National Library of Scotland has a website very well worth repeated
visits (http://www.nls.uk/).

One of the presentations I wholehearted recommend is calle "Scotland Pages"
(http://www.nls.uk/scotlandspages/), and excellent source for matters
concerning Scotland's written history.

I am particularly taken by the in my opinion superb Robert Burns
presentation (http://www.nls.uk/burns/).  The pages (accessible via the menu
on the right) come with special bits of information and some with sound
snippets.  You can access those by clicking on the icons underneath the main
heading of a page.

This well-designed presentation certainly tempts me to travel to Edinburgh
to visit National Library of Scotland.

Bravo!  Bi fegs, weel duin, fowk!  Whitwey no parallel versions in Scots an
Gaelic an aw?  That wad make the wab steid trulins Scottish an wad shawcase
the hamewart tongues o Bonnie Scotland tae the warld an aw.

An wantin unner "Scots Abroad"
(http://www.nls.uk/catalogues/online/scotsabroad/) is a wee jot anent Scots
sattlin in "Prussia" (thir days Northren Poland and Kaliningrad, Russia).
Aye, an a page anent "Flemish" sattlers in Scotland an aw.

Guidwull tae aw!
Reinhard/Ron
