Scots Language:

​

The Scots language edition of Saltire Invasion is OUT NOW. We have gain the full support of the Scots language centre and Scottish language dictionaries. 

In order to ensure that the text is published to the highest standard in Scots, we will use reowned Scots translator Matthew Fitt. Matthew Fitt is one of the leading Scots writers of his generation. His work in Scots ranges from award-winning poetry to science-fiction, from non-fiction to children’s books. He is co-founder of the ground-breaking imprint Itchy Coo which has published over forty books in Scots for younger readers. He is an official Scots translator for the Scottish Parliament and has had his own writing translated into several languages. His Scots translations of popular writers such as Roald Dahl and Albert Uderzo are credited with introducing a whole new readership to the Scots language. Matthew has shown interest in all future issues of Saltire and will ensure the quality of the Scots translation is of the highest standard.

 

We hope to produce each of the Saltire graphic novels in Scots and appreciate the continued support of the Scots speaking community.
