TRAISUR INSCH
Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” translated into Scots by Iain WD Forde © 2008
Robert Louis Stevenson had a good Scots tongue in his head and wrote a number of stories in the language. If Scotland’s language had not been so neglected he might have written in broad Scots such as this translation contains, including the rich treasury of words from the past.
