Great little guide,

Don't think they speak Anglish in Burns Country, my friends... don't get caught with your linguistic pants down in Ayrshire, or Glasgow, scratching your head wondering why all these nice people keep talking about some meal called dinna and some guy named ken who seems to be on everybody's mind. Buy yerself a nice, wee easy-to-carry pocket guide of the Mither Tongue. A good one to put together with Hauld Yer Wheest for your trip to Scotland. (See my other reviews of Scots language guides.)

This review is from: Scots-English, English-Scots Practical Dictionary (Hippocrene Practical Dictionary) (Paperback)
I used this dictionary along with The Pocket Scots Dictionary to try to learn some of the words I would hear used in the streets of Glasgow. After five trips. I can understand what is being said a little better but I really got more help from a book about the Glasgow Patter. Scots is a form of English. Glaswegians speak fast and use their own slang and it often involves words from one's own family or neighborhood so even other Glaswegians don't always understand what is being said by someone from another part of Glasgow.
