Scots Scripture

By Andrew. Outside the Scottish Parliament Buildings in Edinburgh, UK.

 

I am assuming this is written in Scots . The Parliament tour guide told us that the Scottish Parliament recognises only English and Gaelic as official languages, however the EU recognises English, Gaelic and Scots for Scotland. How confusing! So is this a language or dialect of Britian? Also according to Wikipedia, there is a thing called Scottish English, for example "Wee" for "Small".

 

The text is actually on the floor, behind a hugh set of locked gates and I had to sneak the picture through the staff entrance - sideways. So it is heavily photoshopped to make it readable!

 

Photography group "Britishness" assignment.
