Über meine Bibliothek
Pretty extensive collection of works on the Scots language, much too on dialects of English.

I've never been able to take in the details of history but I like work that takes a broad, materialistic sweep, including evolutionary biology.

I don't read much fiction, apart from a weakness for graphic novels, but I keep returning to the Victorians. I read a lot of sci-fi when I was younger.

Just beginning to put my library onto LibraryThing.
Über mich
Academic expert on the Scots language. Recently worked for Tobar an Dualchais/Kist o Riches, a project to digitise and catalogue the sound archive of the School of Scottish Studies (and some other Gaelic archives - but my work is with the Scots material). The website is now live, http://www.tobarandualchais.co.uk/

Have also done some writing in Scots. Under the name of Wulf Kurtoglu, self-published a fantasy novel in Scots, set in the future, mainly in western China, *Braken Fences* (also in English, *Broken Fences*).

As I get older and less rebellious, I'm coming to appreciate the Greek-Judaeo-Christian aspects of Western civilisation more and more, though I'm a rationalist, and a member of the Humanist Society of Scotland - I've conducted funerals, which gave me a great appreciation of the power of poetry. I have in the past considered myself a Buddhist and have great respect for that philosophy. Politically I believe in freedom of speech, one law for all, and getting out of the EU.
