For more recent Scots songs I heartily recommend a Glasgow Glossary called "The Patter" by Michael Munro..

BTW... Burns wrote in the Scots language often known as "Lallans" - Lowlands - i.e. not Highlands...

It is often said that the English spoken in the Highlands is less dialectical than most places in the UK, largely because English was such a late arrival to the region..

I agree on the need for a concise glossary. There are some words that are no longer used in Scots, or specific words used to describe farming tools, or occupations that no longer exist.

If you need a specific word translated, try me...

Cheers M'Dears...

P.S. in recent Glasgow a Chanty is a chamberpot.. so a chantywrassler is someone who umm handles chamberpots a lot... StevenC
