Having learnt a lot from listening to @billykayscot.bsky.social’s “Scots: the Mither Tongue”, it’s good to see Scots finally getting proper recognition and support.
The Gaelic and Scots languages have gained official status in a 'historic milestone' as people across Scotland mark St Andrew’s Day

Heads up: if ye wir brocht up an telt tae speak proper, dinna fash. Just beh the book and start reading. Thir's an online dictionary if ye need help, but you probably wullna need it. When you start, you'll be fair amazed at how quickly it comes back. A bargain at half the price. Grand, indeed.
