We're definitely progressing with the GTCS recognised training programme for Scots Language learning and teaching across the land. This includes practitioners who have engaged with the course in the first 4 cohorts and the pilot at Banff Academy.

🌿✨ Bursting with pride!
Our PBL & Scots students in Banff are using Doric to reply to Gaza pupils’ stories of place, loss, cultural loss & resilience—linking lost words with biodiversity decline. Language shapes our bond with nature & connects us across cultures. @karenadamsnp.bsky.social
