Recently, I've been motivated to study Scots--not in any serious way, just to satisfy my
linguistic curiosity. I have found a few websites written in Scots, but I was surprised when I couldn't find a Bible in Scots. Does anyone know of any translations of the Bible into Scots (preferably free and online)? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you're referring to Lowlands Scots, there's a very old New Testament translation by Murdoch Nisbet. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This was precisely what I was looking for, thank you both.

There's also the Bible specifically in Glaswegian... I remember it being on tv when it
was first published. Jamie Stuart's 'A Glasgow Bible'- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Glasgow-Bible-Jamie- Stuart/dp/0715207490/ref=sr_1_16?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1391813 006&sr=1- 16&keywords=bible+scots Alas, it's not a full translation, just selections but it includes,'In the Beginnin' via 'David fechts Goliath' to 'Judas Hings Himsel'. Now you've reminded me of it, I must see if I can borrow it from our library... 1 person has voted this message useful |
