Scottish National Dictionary

The Scottish National Dictionary (SND) was published by the Scottish National Dictionary Association (SNDA) from 1931 to 1976 and documents the Modern (Lowland) Scots language. The original editor, William Grant (1863–1946), was the driving force behind the collection of Scots vocabulary. A wide range of sources were used by the editorial team in order to represent the full spectrum of Scottish vocabulary and cultural life. Their work built on the earlier materials collected by the Scottish Dialects Committee (SDC), which had been formed in 1907 with Grant as its Convener. The SDC published a series of Transactions from 1911 to 1921, which included early versions of some dictionary entries.
