Girl reading a book

A set yin nicht, jist eftèr nine,

Wi paper, pen an gless o wine,

A wheen o rhymes wis ma design

In Stannert Habbie.

By Sowl, A cudnae scrieve a line

Fer A’m nae Rabbie!

A set, an set, an birlt tha pen,

Nae wurds cum oot tha ither enn.

Afore owre lang it wis hauf ten

A’m scunnèrt noo.

Mair hape o gettin bluid fae stane

It gars me grue.

Fer sim fowk mak it luk nae bither

Tae rhyme yin wurdie wi anither

A doot ma heid maun be throughither

A maun alloo it

Tae pit ma wee bit thochts thegither

A cannae dae it.

Ulster Scots Academy

LATEST

A new edition of Michael Montgomery’s From Ulster to America: The Scotch-Irish Heritage of American English recounts the lasting impact that at least 150,000 settlers from Ulster in the 18th century made on the development of the English language of the United States. This new edition published by the Ulster-Scots Language Society documents over 500 ‘shared’ vocabulary items which are authenticated by quotations from both sides of the Atlantic. A searchable online version of this dictionary is now also available here.

FORTHCOMING

The Ulster-Scots Academy is currently working on the digitisation of Dr Philip Robinson's seminal Ulster-Scots Grammar and the English/Ulster-Scots part (with circa 10,000 entries) of a two-way historical dictionary of Ulster-Scots. These projects are planned to be completed and available on the site in 2016.
