The Scots Language Society was founded in 1972 and exists to promote Scots in

literature, drama, the media, education and in every day usage. Since Scots was once the state language of Scotland, it is a valid part of our heritage and the society recognizes that

it should be able to take its place as a language of Scotland, along with Gaelic and

English.
