Cairte o Europe in Scots

This is less or mair a rewark o the cairte o Europe in Scots compiled by Dr Dauvit Horsbroch o the Centre for the Scots Leid, and that featurs in his popular YouTube lectur ‘Kennin the Scots Leid’. Dr Horsbroch haesna haed a haund in this version (apairt frae some advisement, fair appreciatit by mysel, anent a couple o names) and sae ony Scots spelling errors is mine alane. International mairches conform tae them that’s recognised by the Unitit Kinrick.

Ye can read a bittie mair anent Scots country names in Dr Horsbroch’s post ‘Names in Scots — kintras ootland’. Ye can finnd Scots country names in sindry places, sic as the Dictionar o the Scots Leid and ben the warks o Sir Dauvit Lindsay (and ithergates in the NLS digital archive), as weel as airticles in the 19t and 20t century press.

I’v skaired a spreidsheet o some o the sources ahint the cairte. Ye can view and dounlaid it here.

The map is available tae dounlaid in a wheen formats:

PDF (heichest quality; wirks weel on aw devices)
CMYK PDF (the CMYK colour format is needit for prentin)
PNG.

Feel free tae speir at me wi ony questions or corrections: hullo [AT] makforrit [DOT] scot.
