Abstract
First paragraph: Lowing begins with pointing to the virtual exclusion of Scots from schools in the late 19th and 20th centuries which she concludes created “...obstacles to learning and compromised Scots-speaking children’s self-confidence, agency and identity.” She found that there were divisions between those who were unsure about Scots and whether it should be taught, and those for whom it was an essential part of their expression and identity. Some staff recognised that there was a need to ‘re-educate’ themselves in Scots while others saw an urgent need for a Scots canon.
