Scots is a living vibrant language, full of words you'll not find in English, recognised by the European Union as one of Europe's languages and deserves support and encouragement, both of which are sadly lacking from the Westminster Government and our own Parliament in Edinburgh.
 
Many of your members will not come from a Gaelic background but from one where Scots was the the Mother Tongue. I like many people have both a Scots and Gaelic background. This is not them or us, but both together.
 
We at the SLS produce 2 magazines a year, all in Scots, featuring poetry, articles and short stories. An excellent read. We also have a large selection of Cds on our Scotsoun Label, featuring many of Scotland's top Poets, Pipers and singers.
 
I hope you and your membership will consider our Society and consider taking out a Membership which is currently £20.00 for overseas and £25.00 for a Corporate membership.
