Guid Scots Tongue, The

• 1986 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- vhs
• (Story of English, The series, Part 4) In the seventh century Anglo-Saxons settled in the southern parts of Scotland, their numbers later bolstered by refugees from the Norman invasion. For generations border wars kept Scotland and England apart. When King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England, the wars ended and the two countries were united. Many writers, such as Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott, worked to preserve Scottish nationalism, literature and culture. Traces the history of Scots from the lowlands to Northern Ireland and America. Explores the culture of highland Scots, descendants of pre-Roman Celts, a group with a separate history, language and culture.
