 Hello, I'm one of three learning officers at the National Library of Scotland where we're fortunate enough to have pre-eminent collections of literary works written and published in Scots. We're fortunate enough to have a rich selection of works written and published in Scots dating back hundreds of years and I'm here to talk to you about a project that makes some of these items available digitally for the first time, a small sample which you saw there. The website was a result of a collaboration with a first Scotsquiever or Scots writer funded by Creative Scotland and appointed to create new work and raise the profile understanding and appreciation of the Scots language. This was some of the media coverage we had of the event to launch the post. We were inspired by the windows which Robert Burns had edged poems on to like this one in Falkirk. We like the idea of the collections, people being able to look into the collections and back through time and at the same time the collections looking out onto the world. And that's how the name We Windies came about. We also wanted people to understand the role of Scots language in a wider cultural and historical context. So this section explains a bit more about that and while the default language throughout the site is Scots, longer pages have English translations which lets users switch seamlessly between the two. And to showcase the geographic spread, we created this map which plots the text featured on the site where they were first written or published, creating a kind of mosaic from around Scotland to let people find things from, say, where their granny came from. And alongside finding texts by location, we designed three other ways to find them. By period, which you can see in the timeline here, by types such as song, poem, ballad or scripture, or by themes such as love, war, superstition and chivalry. So if you wanted to see all the items that have a love theme, you would get this visual mash-up screen. So for example, on top row, you've got Philitas, a 16th century play, next to Mary Simon, a 20th century poet, followed by an early 19th century ballad. A really nice mix, we think. And Each Windy also has a sample audio clip of the sample text there. I'll play that for you now. But what underpins the whole site are the digitized texts that are featured on Each Windy. For example, the Book of the Howlet, a 15th century allegorical poem dedicated to Lady Elizabeth Douglas at Darnaway Castle in northeast Scotland. And here we've digitized the slightly more legible 18th and 1823 edition. Alongside Each Window, we have a small gallery to showcase related material from our other collections such as maps, manuscripts and archive film, as well as links to specific items in our main catalogue for anyone wanting to do further research. One of the star items is a map of northeast Murray made sometime between 1583 and 1596 by Timothy Pont, a St Andrews University graduate who took it upon himself to map the whole of Scotland, possibly not long after his graduation. Probably something not on anybody's bucket list today. Another star item is this fragment of the Bannetine manuscript compiled by merchant George Bannetine while he escaped the plague in Edinburgh in 1568. It contains one of the greatest collections of Scottish medieval verse and is one of the library's treasures. And one of the benefits of the project was a chance to collaborate and add another layer of knowledge. The University of Edinburgh's Angus Macintosh Centre for Historical Linguistics created this fabulous downloadable guide to help modern readers understand some of the spelling, handwriting and pronunciation of middle Scots. Some items have been made available for the first time, ballads by Aberdeenshire singer Anna Gordon-Brown compiled by her own hand in 1800 and said to have been inspired by aunts, nurses and old women. Women whose voices are now lost to time have been given a new lease of life on a 21st century platform. And Aine Godly Dream, a Calvinist dream vision poem written by Elizabeth Melville Lady of Chloros in Fife, first published in 1603. She was the first woman in Scotland to see her work in print and this title was so popular it was translated into English the following year. But it's not just rare books and manuscripts by aristocratic authors, we've also acknowledged the Scots oral tradition associated with marginalised communities such as travellers whose tales fortunately still survive in print thanks to collectors like Hamish Henderson. And authors who wrote about the working class are also featured. We've digitised part of the type script of Glasgow Keely, A Tale of Hard Lives in Glasgow Slums by John McNeely published in 1940, sadly now out of print, but this was made available by the enthusiastic permission and support of his son. And to raise awareness of these rare and often out of print texts to a new generation, we teamed up with Education Scotland to create downloadable and printable cross-curricular learning activities for teachers mapped to the Scottish curriculum and ready for use in the classroom. And we're extending the reach offline too. This year we're collaborating the Finhorn Festival in Murray on a new production of the Book of the Howlett to be performed by the community in the Great Hall at Darnaway Castle displaying facsimiles of the Bannetide manuscript and taking the story full circle some 500 years after it was said to have been performed there. I hope that's given you a taste of our Scots language collections, which I have been delighted to share with you.
