Lidl asked me tae write a festive wee poyum in Scots tae tell the story of the Daft Days. This is the time between Xmas day and Hogmanay- the original 12 days of Christmas. It's a poyum for everyone, Scot or not, and I'm so excited tae finally share it wae yous all. I was inspired by 'The Daft Days' by Robert Fergusson, it was such a privilege tae be asked tae take part in this amazing project. The Scots language is so close tae ma heart and being able tae write and recite in it has been a truly magical experience. Thanks tae Lidl for supporting the Scots Language and the arts in Scotland. #ad Love, Lennie x

A chat with Len Pennie about the Scots language (a sister language of English from Scotland.) Scots is fascinating because most English speakers can understand it to some extent, but there are very noticeable differences in phonology, syntax, and vocabulary.
