Your options: You can step through past weekly Scottish words one by one using the previous word and next word buttons at the top right of each word page situated next to the word search option. You can subscribe to the RSS feed here too. You can choose to view the words as just words grouped by year in the archives section. Below the illustration of each Scottish word you have the same options but you can also go directly to the very first word or very last word or choose to view an illustrated word chosen at random. There is a pull down category list in the left column of the word pages where you can sort the words by category creating a list of words, text excerpts and thumbnails. Why Scottish Words gives an overview of the site's purpose and beginning and why Scottish words were chosen as a topic to illustrate. There you can also access some information about me and information in using the phoetic alphabet to help with pronouncing the words and there is a site map of stooryduster. Don't forget you can try the Scottish word quizzes too and you can help me out by buying my T-shirts here at spreadshirt.com. You can also view my small collection of links to Scottish related topics.

If you have any suggestions for anything you think I should add to the stooryduster site you can leave a comment or contact me directly through my contact page. Naturally all the cartoons are my copyright so if you want to use any please let me know. It's surprising how accommodating many artists are with the use of low resolution versions of their images providing you are not making money or other capital from them and the author is credited. But you must ask. Enjoy and thanks for visiting. Alan.
