SCOTLAND THE BRAVE

The Northern Part of Great Britain is the Land of the Scots. Famous for its dramatic landscapes, epic castles, kilts, tartans, bagpipes, the Loch Ness Monster, and Robbie Burns.
Robbie Burns Day (Burns Night) honours the life and influential work of Scotland’s national poet, Robbie Burns, on his birthday, January 25th, with traditional Scottish foods, whiskey, poetry readings, music, and toasts.
Cheers, Good Health, Slàinte Mhath!

Representing the north of the border, the land of the brave, My ASL Dictionary’s updated cartoon of a young woman in full Scottish dress shows the ASL hand sign for SCOTLAND.

The fingertips of the 4 hand trace down the arms’ triceps and then across, like the plaid pattern on a Scottish tartan.

Scotland uses British Sign Language. In BSL, the hand sign for Scotland is the elbow held to the side, making two small movements towards the body, a motion similar to squeezing a Scottish bagpipe.

*This post also corrects the illustration and error in the Dictionary’s directions for SCOTLAND, which incorrectly states to drag the 4 HS across the chest.
