Scottish books

[Rob MacKillop]

It was a great feeling for Susan and I to see her new book on a shelf in Blackwells bookshop. She uses her maiden name, Susan Rennie. Her book is "Jameison's Dictionary of Scots". Jamieson, a friend of Walter Scot, wrote the first Scots language dictionary. She also has a chapter in the book on the left of her book, called "Scotland in Definition". Who'se a clever girl, then? Proud husband!

Brilliant , congrats

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Davie. Jamieson was based in Forfar, so there are lots of Angus district words in his dictionary.

There is something about seeing ones name in print in a proper book (not one done yourself if you know what I mean) got a buzz just seeing my name under a photo in a book recently.

Well done Mrs Mac..and the long suffering Mr Mac of course...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, how I suffer!

 

[Davie Hudson]

Cheers, Davie. Jamieson was based in Forfar, so there are lots of Angus district words in his dictionary.

Funnily enough, I work in Forfar

Then you might recognise this...on the road heading out of Forfar north-eastwards.

Excellent news and a nice shot of the end result as well. And a lot more interesting than some of mine!!

Looks a page turner, Pete, though probably not in a good way! Well done, though. Respect.

I really like the image, Rob! Nice one!

The big congrats should go to Susan, though, what a great achievement having a book in print! Seems you're not the only star in the family, Rob!
