Description
A Scots Dictionary of Nature brings together the unique vocabulary used to describe Scotland's natural world. Amanda Thomson collates traditional Scots words for land, wood, weather, birds, water and walking, revealing ways of seeing and being in the world that are at risk of disappearing. These deeply expressive words evoke a vivid picture of Scotland's nature and people, past and present. The result is a rich evocation of life lived between mountains and sky. By exploring this distinctive lexicon, you can gain a deeper understanding of Scotland's relationship with its environment and the people who have shaped it over time.
