“Because Scots does not have a recognised standard spoken form today, many believe that the various dialects spoken here are dialects of English. They are in fact dialects of Scots and form an unbroken continuum with the language which was the national tongue of the Middle Ages."

Today Volodymyr Zelenskyy marks his birthday which he shares with our National Bard, Robert Burns.

The President is a great admirer of the work of Burns - so from Scotland to Ukraine, we send solidarity, support and an appreciation of the enduring power of Burns. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

Scotland is a proudly compassionate and welcoming nation who opened our arms to refugees.

While the Tories this week chose to sow division, we choose humanity, dignity, and hope.

These are our values, and this is who we are. 👇

Great initiative by Killie Community. Thanks to @kilmarnock.bsky.social sponsors and local employers for coming along to help participants prepare for the world of work.
🤝 Today, some of our 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 participants took on their first ever interviews with local employers & club sponsors.

🗣 "The feedback was great and my confidence doing interviews has grown massively today. I feel more ready to apply and hopefully get a job."

Very pleased to see my colleague @sa4dunfermline.bsky.social announce in Parliament today that @thesnp.bsky.social will restore the Winter Fuel Payment that the UK Labour Government ripped away from pensioners. More evidence of the SNP standing up for people in Scotland.

📈 Scotland has seen the second highest growth in employment in the UK this month.

🇪🇺 We were second only to Northern Ireland - which unlike Scotland, has access to the EU single market.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland continues to enjoy a higher employment rate than England.
