Dictionary of the Scots Language
Skretkowicz, Victor. “Dictionary of the Scots Language.” Scottish Language Dictionaries, http://www.dsl.ac.uk/dsl/index.html.
This site comprises electronic editions of the two major historical dictionaries of the Scots language: the Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue and the Scottish National Dictionary. The first contains information about Scots words in use from the twelfth to the end of the seventeenth centuries (Older Scots); and the second contains information about Scots words in use from the eighteenth century to the present day (modern Scots).
Don’t confuse Scots with Gaelic. Scots is a dialect of English and in the Germanic family of languages. It is widely spoken throughout Scotland. Gaelic is a Celtic language, quite distinct from English, now largely restricted to the remote, highland regions of Scotland.
