Scots is a very accessible and entertaining language. The Haunbuik, however, was written for those with a basic knowledge of spoken forms so it is probably a bit dry for a genuine beginner. Send me your ideas and I'll do what I can to improve it.
You can download an old (zipped) text version (V1.1) of the Haunbuik (which includes the FAQ and Historie) or Mark Devlin from Boston has done a Word for Windows translation of the 1.0 version.
