Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/tales-fae-the-doric-side This project was a collaboration between writer Jo Gilbert and The Friends of Elphinstone, Elphinstone Institute, University of Aberdeen, and funded by Creative Funding. Through conversations with teachers and others working in and around Scots, a lack of new work suitable for older students in Doric was identified, sparking the idea for an anthology of new writing. We created a companion pamphlet to accompany the anthology comprising questions and activities that secondary schools and teachers can use in their Scots language work. The pamphlet is in PDF format so it can be easily distributed to teachers and schools. © 2025 Elphinstone Institute 9c491f3a-e8f1-545f-acbc-722a8ad72896 no en Fri, 09 Feb 2024 20:08:08 +0000 Wed, 03 Dec 2025 01:45:23 +0000 https://www.abdn.ac.uk/elphinstone/public-engagement/Tales.php https://img.transistor.fm/9X3MKCIasxkph1dzp_3qfad1TMN5s8b7io6uOR2I0OQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQwNDc3LzE2ODA4/Njc4ODUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.jpg https://www.abdn.ac.uk/elphinstone/public-engagement/Tales.php episodic Elphinstone Institute This project was a collaboration between writer Jo Gilbert and The Friends of Elphinstone, Elphinstone Institute, University of Aberdeen, and funded by Creative Funding.
