The Scots Language Society, or Scots Leid Associe, also formerly known as the Lallans Society,[1] is a body that works for the promotion of the Scots language "in literature, drama, the media, education and everyday use". It was founded in 1972[2] and has an open membership.
The SLS publishes a bi-annual journal, Lallans , which has developed over the years from a small pamphlet-sized organ to a 144-page magazine with prose, poetry, reviews, news and articles relevant to the language, all in Scots. Lallans is posted free to members of the Society, and is estimated to have a readership of around a thousand, including through its library distribution. In 2022 the society published an anthology of poems collected in the journal from 1973-2022, for which it received funding from the Scots Language Publication Grant.[3]
SLS also holds an Annual Collogue ('Annual Meeting'), normally a day-long event in the summer featuring awards for writing in Scots, readings, talks and music.
The SLS sees itself as part of a 'family' of Scots language organisations, including among others the Scots Leid Cross-Pairty Group at the Scottish Parliament and the Scots Language Centre in Perth.
