Young Robert is a clergyman, has married a rich wife, hopes to be
Moderator of the Assembly some day, and never alludes to his royal
ancestor.
THE END.
Note from John Bechard, transcriber of this electronic text.
The following is a list of Scottish words found in George MacDonald???s
_Alec Forbes of Howglen_. I have compiled this list myself and worked
out the definitions from context with the help of Margaret West, from
Leven in Fife, Scotland, and also by referring to a word list found in
a collection of poems by Robert Burns, _Chamber???s Scots Dialect
Dictionary from the 17th century to the Present_ c. 1911 and
_Scots-English English-Scots Dictionary_ Lomond Books c. 1998. I have
tried to be as thorough as possible given the limited resources and
welcome any feedback on this list (my e-mail address is
JaBBechard@aol.com). This was never meant to be a comprehensive list of
the Scots Dialect, but rather an aid to understanding some of the
conversations and references that appear in this novel. I do apologise
for any mistakes or omissions. I aimed for my list to be very
comprehensive, and it often repeats the same word in a plural or
diminutive form.
