Scots Language Centre Centre for the Scots Leid

The Soutar Session

27th September 2006

The controversial subject of a Scottish Six news broadcast is a regular story in itself. The Centre asked well known broadcasters, Billy Kay and Mary Blance to discuss Scots at six. What does the news sound like in Scots, how might audiences react to it. Listen to Mary and Billy as they chat about these questions and their own experiences of broadcasting in Scots dialects. This discussion is part of the Word's Out! Festival and is held to commemorate the life of Willie Soutar www.williamsoutar.com.
