Lilian Ross

Born in the fertile Buchan Heartlands of Aberdeenshire, Lilian’s young life was steeped in the traditions of rural culture. Songs, stories and poetry round the fire was her grounding for what is now her vocation and profession. Lilian writes in Doric and English. In addition to her written work, she has also performed in festivals around the UK and Ireland and has recorded voiceover work and an album; Thorns and Roses, a mix of contemporary folk and traditional songs. Lilian has been delivering workshops on Scots Language in
primary and secondary schools for many years helping to address the demands of the Curriculum for Excellence. She also published a book and CD of songs and rhymes in Scots as a resource for schools, Yokie Tonsils.
