Summary

For his Masters degree in Orkney and Shetland Studies (2014) John Scott compiled this dictionary and researched dialect word loss over three generations. The dictionary includes entries from numerous sources from the past 150 years, and draws on his knowledge of over 20 languages for his explanatory notes, observations and etymologies. His wicked sense of humour comes through in a number of places - he says that dictionaries should be fun to read!
