Scottish Words Illustrated.

Scottish Words Illustrated. Each week a Scottish word and its meaning is added to this site along with an illustration intended to make you laugh and understand. Also provided is a translation of all the words and all the captions into English.

Have a look and let me know if I make you smile. There is also help with pronunciation on most of the word pages. *Gie yer friends a gas and let them know about this site.

This guidance is available as a pop up window when you click on any phonetic image of a Scottish word on most of this site. It will give you some clue as to how you should be pronouncing the words.

An illustrated dictionary?

This will be a comprehensive illustrated dictionary although not yet. But if the years pass and I don’t die too soon it’ll get there. <p >If I’m spared, as they say.

Alternative.

There is an online Scots dictionary by the Scottish Dictionary Association on the Web which gives well founded meanings for Scottish words – well funded and supported by academics – this site here is only me.

Translation:

*Gie yer friends a gas: give your friends so much enjoyment they’re gasping for breath.
