Scots Blog
The Scots language has a rich tradition, and abounds with marvellous words. This blog will regularly show a different Scots or Gaelic word with its English equivalent. I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I do!

Dreich may also be used to refer to a journey which is long and tedious, or to a speech which is over-long and uninteresting.
