Reviews:

This is a gem of a book: an authentic, accessible guide for actors who need to perfect a Scots accent. I have used it myself and recommend it highly.   Jeannette Wilson, Head of Voice, National Theatre

A braw buik... one I can recommend to anyone interested in reading, writing or speaking Scots, however defined.   Michael Hance, Director, Scots Language Centre
