A CfE Responsible Citizen should "develop knowledge and understanding of the world and Scotland's place in it". Teaching Scots can be a fun and rewarding part of an English course at any stage.
On Monday at Keith Grammar School, Sheena Blackhall gave an entertaining and informative presentation to Moray English teachers about how one might go about teaching Scots. She spoke (and sang) for only an hour, but suggested loads of approaches and resources for those who may be unsure about how to get started.
Sheena's talk would be perfect for a bit of CPD at a departmental meeting and she also works in class with pupils. Email me if you would like her contact details. View her blog at:

Here are a couple of great websites full of resources on Scots:
