Learn Scottish English Online – Level 1

This course may be eligible for CEUs*

In the land famous for kilts, bagpipes, Scotch whiskey, and golf, the variety of English spoken here is known as Scottish English. Having distinct pronunciation, grammar and expressions and distinctive vocabulary, Scottish English results from language contact between Scots and the Standard English of England after the 17th century.

In the past, English was not widely spoken throughout Scotland. People relied on Scots and Scottish Gaelic but the times have changed and only 1% of the current Scottish population.

Scottish English is believed to be derived from Old English, which makes it most similar to the dialect spoken in England and Ireland. As time has progressed, Scottish English has changed and now you will see a mix of Scots, Scottish Gaelic, and English thrown together in speaking. When it comes to formal writing, you’ll see standard English

Examples of usage of the language include, “Ach, away ye go!” meaning “Oh, I don’t believe you” and “That’s outwith my remit” meaning “It’s not part of my job to do that”. Learn and have fun with the language. Or as the Scots say, “Guid luck!”
