HE was one of Scotland’s greatest 20th-century poets and authors who told wider truths from the micro world of his native Orkney.
Now a writer is wanted to follow in the ink tips of George Mackay Brown in the centenary year of his birth. Applications opened this week for a residency to give an Orkney-based writer the opportunity to develop new work using Orcadian dialect.
Hosted by the National Library of Scotland, the “Scots Scriever” post is for 12 months and will provide £15,000 to the successful applicant.
“The role of the Scots Scriever – a joint initiative between Creative Scotland and the National Library of Scotland – aims to support the creation of original writing in Scots and the promotion of the language through creative forms,” says the advert. ....

Bit ’o wend today,” says the Orcadian; except it’s a habitual greeting - it might be blowing like hell. In some ways, it’s commendable that complaining about the weather is virtually unknown in Orkney, given how regularly the sea is raucous enough to broach the land and close roads.
It’s impossible to ignore the wind, though, because it constitutes both weather and conversation. 
Orcadian endurance hides an astute mind for the breeze. They’re wind aficionados, keenly marking the incremental differences between the light skiff of a kuil and a slightly stiffer tirl, and on upward through a gurl, a gushle, a hushle, a skolder, a skuther, a gouster, right up to the strong, muscular blast of a skreevar.
