The Author
The author was at a school in Edinburgh where Scots was taught but not allowed in the playground, contrary to the usual situation. He followed the profession of architecture in Edinburgh all his working life until retiring to write. Now that the nation of Scotland is moving slowly towards freedom he hopes to see the day when the Scots language is also loosed from its chains.
