Take time out to learn the history of Doric.
It’s widely spoken across Aberdeen and the wider North East, but where and how did ‘the Doric’ come about?
The University of Aberdeen has published a series of videos which trace not only the history of the language but how it evolved over the years.
Created by the Elphinstone Institute, the series can be found on YouTube.
Episode 1 traces the history of Doric with comment from local professors Smith and Millar.
