About this app

Scots, the vernacular of Lowland Scotland, is descended from early Northern Middle English. Scots is also often referred to as Lallans (Lowlands), Broad Scots and, in days gone by, Scotch, or by local names such the Patter, Dundonian, Glesca, the Doric, the Buchan Claik, Orkney, Shetland, and to some, simply Scottish dialect.

The App provides definitions of Scots words and a few short phrases in English or possible Scots translations of English words.
The App includes a Scots pronunciation and spelling guide.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent! Ability to translate in both directions is what's missing from similar apps, works well in this app.

Amazing app! I can now understand all my favorite Scots songs, such as those from The Tannahill Weavers!

It gies me de words, but a version specifically for Ulster Scots would be great
