Traditional Dialect of Stirlingshire


This was a North Mid Scotland dialect. The data for these dialect pages are mostly taken from "The English Dialect Grammar" by Joseph Wright, 1905. Unfortunately, Wright doesn’t give many examples of the Stirlingshire dialect which is why this page appears so empty. I have no intention of leaving Stirlingshire out however!
