You can choose to view the words as just words grouped by year in the archives section. or select from this collection of thumbnails of words done for Illustration Friday. There is a pull down category list in the left column of each word pages where you can sort the words by category creating a list of caption excerpts, thumbnails, word and meaning. Why Scottish Words gives an overview of this site's purpose, its beginning and why Scottish words were chosen as a topic to illustrate define and translate. There you can also access some information about me and information in using the phonetic alphabet to help with pronouncing the words. There is a site map here of this site. If you like a challenge you can try the Scottish word quizzes and you can buy and wear a T-shirt of mine from spreadshirt.com - helping to support this site. You can also view my favourite links or my collection of public links at delicious.com - these are mainly for illustrators, designers, animators and artists.

    If you have any suggestions for anything you think I should add to the stooryduster site you can leave a comment or contact me directly through my contact page. Naturally all the cartoons are my copyright so if you want to use any please let me know. It's surprising how accommodating many artists are with the use of low resolution versions of their images providing you are not making money or other capital from them and the author is credited. But you must ask. Enjoy and thanks for visiting. Alan.
