Joyce Falconer is Centre's Scots voice
In the next few weeks visitors to the Scots Language Centre will be able to listen to, as well as read, the Scots words which are described in the Scots Word of the Week feature on the Centre's home page.
People imagining they recognise the voice won't all be wrong as it belongs to Joyce Falconer, the Aberdeen born actress who starred as plain speaking Roisin Henderson in BBC soap, River City.
Joyce has a long standing interest in Scots and used her own North East dialect in the BBC's hit show.
Along with the Scots word of the week, Joyce has recorded a number of her own poems for the Centre and these will feature on the site through the next year.
Word of the Week is produced in association with Scottish Language Dictionaries and the Herald.
