Writing Scots poetry

Poet Liz Niven reads an excerpt from her poem β€˜Let’s Hear Whit the Dragon’s Goat Tae Say’ to students at a Scots Scuil writing workshop. She encourages them to draft their own poems and discusses how they find it difficult to write in Scots. The group mix English and Scots and add more Scots words in the redraft. The students go on to create riddle poems and each choose one to read at a performance.
