A late-Victorian oil painting. An elderly male schoolteacher, bald, with white side-whiskers, sits side-on at a well-worn wooden sloping desk. He is wearing a greenish-brown tweed jacket and a dark waistcoat over a collarless shirt with a loose necktie, and brown trousers. He is holding a small battered book open in his right hand, and looks out of the picture over the top of small oval glasses. Behind him, the corner of a map of Scotland can be seen hanging on a cracked plaster wall; beneath it three small blond-haired boys are misbehaving (one watches while the second writes something in chalk on the back of the third). In the lower left of the painting, a young girl, wearing a dark blue dress with a white pinafore on top, sits looking out at the viewer over the top of another battered schoolbook which she is holding against her chest. All the children are barefoot.

In Memoriam Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978) Alastair Mackie The deid-hole’s a sma-boukit place for you. You need tae be blawn aboot the cosmos so’s your live matter mells wi the spaces and you become the stour starns are made o. Sma spirit, ye couped yoursel oot like an ocean and on it ye sailed tae your odyssey. Your poems set their bows for the infinite. It was a sma bit coble made o Scots. Ahent the muckle brae-face o your brou barmed the thochts. They were like boolders, ram-stam, ramgunshoch, aften wilyart. Polyphemus hurlin craigs at the galleys’ hotterin starns. And aye the sky-line cockit its fore-finger. For fifty years laneliness was your crony. Your spaces were polar anes, the cauld burn o your mind the aixle-tree that iled your world. I think o Pascal’s infinite spaces and Scotland a wee dot in the abyss. You gied it a starn; the muckle hole skinkles yet in the licht. Sic matter never dees. The terror that I feel is for the muckle howe-hole your last sleep leaves ahent. As if a mountain that held up the lyft had sunk intae the mools and suddenly the sky-line’s unfrienly. And oor steps styter and Scotland’s again ‘the bonny broukit bairn’. Lie back in your kist licht bearer. And may the giant back-birn ye cairriet lie lichtly in the earth’s happin.

Afore the world, like a frostit stane,
Birls on thru space;
Afore the sin has gaen black in the face,
And the nicht liggs in the lift
And winna shift;
Lang, lang afore the hinmaist skelter o’ snaw
Dings and dings in a yowdendrift
That faulds, like the dounfa’
O time’s cauld mort-claith, round the deid yird—
Man sall tak wings…

William Soutar Apotheosis Afore the world, like a frostit stane, Birls on thru space; Afore the sin has gaen black in the face, And the nicht liggs in the lift And winna shift; Lang, lang afore the hinmaist skelter o’ snaw Dings and dings in a yowdendrift That faulds, like the dounfa’ O time’s cauld mort-claith, round the deid yird— Man sall tak wings; And, as a bird, flee owre the wa’ o’ the world To bigg his nest in the braid breast O’ Cassiopeia Or whaur the galaxy hings like a watergaw Lippen on nae sin. Lang, lang, or earth’s day is dune Man sall tak wings And lauch at the auld-farand blethers O’ gowdan feathers; And hauch, and lauch, while his bluid sings, Abüne the gaunch o’ the thunner, And the deid sterns ane be ane Whunner by like flauchts frae a cleckin-stane.

Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪

According to an "information" panel I read near Balloch Castle in Scotland this week, "whin is another word for gorse".

In fact, gentle reader, it's the *Scots* noun for gorse, not an alternative English one.

This frankly pathetic omission grinds my bloody gears. No more should we accept any attempt to subsume the Scots language or any aspect of our culture into that of Greater England.

Enough already!

From www.scots-online.org: whin [ʍɪn, ʍʌn, N. fʌn] n. The common gorse or furze Ulex europaeus. pl. whins whinny adj. Gorse or furze clad. Compounds and phrases etc. Gallawa-whin: SW. The needle furze Genista anglica. moss whin: S. The needle furze Genista anglica. whinbuss: A gorse or furze bush. whindyke: A fence consisting of gorse bushes. whinnie: NEC. The whinchat Saxicola rubetra or SEC. dunnock Prunella modularis. whin gray: U. The linnet Carduelis cannabina. whin-mill: A grinding apparatus used for crushing gorse as fodder.
