Cauld blasts and clishmaclavers : a treasury of 1,000 Scottish words / Robin A. Crawford. by Crawford, Robin A. Elliott and Thompson Limited, 2020. Call #: 427.9411 C899c Subjects English language -- Dialects. -- Scotland.   Scots language -- Dictionaries -- English.   English language -- Dialects -- Scotland -- Dictionaries. ISBN:  9781783964789 (hc.) Alternate title:  Treasury of 1,000 Scottish words Description:  xii, 211 p. : ill. ; 20 cm. Notes:  Text in English and Scots. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (page 199). Summary:  The Scots language is an ancient and lyrical tongue, one inherently linked to the country's history and identity, its land and culture. It is also a living and vital vernacular, used daily. Yet some of these words are beginning to fade away, their meaning and value disappearing. Robin Crawford has gathered together 1,000 Scots words from his native land, old and new, classical and colloquial, rural and urban in a joyful celebration of their continuing usage. In this rich linguistic tapestry, he reveals their evocative origins and essential character with verve, delight and wit.
