How does a language change over the years? How does it shape our connections to each other?
Taylor Dyson takes to the stage with Billy Kay, one of the most prominent figures in the Scots language revival of the eighties and nineties. His recent memoir, Born In Kyle, fondly reflects on his Ayrshire childhood and the cultural belonging it gave him. Dyson’s connection to Dundonian Scots – the language of her upbringing – has likewise been crucial in finding her voice as an artist. Join us on the final stop of the Scriever and Freens Tour for an hour of performance and conversation, celebrating the past, present and future of Scots.
