What is scs ?

It's the normal abbreviation used for soc.culture.scottish, one of over 30,000 Usenet discussion groups. This particular newsgroup is about Scots culture and the interplay which occurs in prose among the posters illustrates exactly that. It's Scottish culture playing out before your eyes in all its varied forms. Here is all of Scotland in a microcosm, the Highlands and Islands, the Lowlands, the Borders, the Northeast and the Central Belt. Here you will find the descendants of Gaels, Norsemen, Saxons, Celts and Normans. Speakers of Gaelic, Lallans, Doric, Scots, English and maybe even Norn. There are those who stayed put, those who emigrated and those who are descendents of earlier emigrants and exiles.

This website, albeit hopefully containing some information which may be useful to visitors, was originally conceived purely for my own entertaiment and to provide some amusement for the scs regulars. Be aware that, generally speaking, that's still the case !

If you are genuinely looking for information on Scotland, may I suggest you take a look at my own Scotland page or visit the website of Craig Cockburn at Silicon Glen
