Excerpt from A Scots Dialect Dictionary: Comprising the Words in Use From the Latter Part of the Seventeenth Century to the Present Day This Scottish Dictionary is intended to deal with what should interest all Scotsmen at home and abroad, as well as foreign students of later Scottish literature. It is designed to serve as a Dictionary or a Vocabulary, not of Early or of Middle Scottish, but of Modern Scottish alone, with a few exceptions. The period covered by it stretches from the latter part of the Seventeenth Century to the beginning of the Twentieth. The exceptions are such words as have survived the transition period between Middle and Modern Scottish, and are found in the latter in their original, or in a modified form. It contains also English literary words which have had, or which now have, a dialect meaning in Scottish. It includes also some phrases necessary for bringing out the meaning of certain dialect words. Those who wish to learn how rich the Scottish dialect is in terse, pithy, comprehensive phrases, should consult Professor Wrights English Dialect Dictionary, where they are given in abundance. In the present work the words are drawn from a great variety of sources. There have been read and ransacked very many volumes of various characters and dates, such as Dictionaries and Glossaries; 'Kailyard' Novels; Poetry, specially of the minor bards; Humorous Readings; Dialect Stories in Newspapers and Magazines; books on Coinage, Agriculture, Social and Domestic Life, Manners and Customs, Memoirs, Games, Travels, as well as of Scots Law, History, and old Theology. Correspondence also has contributed a large quota. The words are drawn from every county of Scotland, from some counties more largely than others, according to the local sources available. As regards Orkney and Shetland, however, it has been thought right to exclude, with several exceptions, such words in use there as are of purely Scandinavian origin, these not being properly Scottish dialect. There are certain things which this Dictionary does not profess to do, and which it is well to state distinctly. No attempt has been made to indicate the locality or geographical limits within which dialect words are used. The record of these words, printed or spoken, is at present far too incomplete for such an attempt to be successful in point of accuracy. A word, also, which one knows as purely local, or confined to one part of the country, may turn out to be used in a different or distant district unknown to him.
