In association with the Robert Henryson Society:

The following recordings consist of renditions from Older Scots into Modern Scots with the intention of making the work ofRobert Henryson more accessible in the first instance to anyone who is unfamiliar with Middle Scots. These versions arecarefully made so that the rhyme and rhythm are preserved. Those involved are skilled in poetry and the Scots language andthe final versions have been scrutinised by Professor Jack Aitken, former editor of DOST. These readings should form bridgesbetween Modern Scots and the Middle Scots of an illustrious makar.

Robert Henryson, The MakarThis cassette was recorded for The Society and recalls the themes of Professor RodLyall’s inaugural address on his being elected Honorary President. A fine introductionto Henryson’s work with helpful analysis of his genius.


The Trial of the Fox and The Preiching of the Swallow Read by Bob Smith and George Bruce who each contribute personal introductorycommentaries.
