Abstract
Scots was recognised as a minority language by the Council of Europe: European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in 2000. Scots was sanctioned by the UK Government, under Part II of the Charter, in 2001. The implementation of Scots Language and Scottish Studies within Scotland's Scottish Curriculum for Excellence resonates with Scotland's developing political and national identity. This chapter provides a preliminary preliminary analysis of Education Scotland’s ‘Studying Scotland’ school resource, with reference to the Scottish Studies Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) award.
