Episode 5: Scots (with Len Pennie) | Hadriatic Divide

The intrepid duo of Ciaran Whyte and Poddy Wilson are BACK with a brand new episode of the Hadriatic Divide Podcast! This time, we're on Scottish turf, discussing the Scots language, which, at the time of interviewing, had just been legally enshrined as an official language of the UK... (the episode edit's been a long time coming, we know!). Prepare yourself to learn about the rich and resilient history of the Scots language, in between all the harebrained mutterings about whether weather and times of day are the same thing, what you might call a cow on holiday, and our producer's new nickname.
