If you're from the north-east of Scotland, and in need of a little religious instruction, help is at hand in the form of a new edition of the entire Bible translated into the Scots dialect of Doric for the very first time!
The translation has taken retired Aberdeenshire solicitor and church elder Gordon Hay some 17 years to complete, with the New Testament initially published in Doric in 2012 (http://www.doricbible.com), and the Aul' Testament to be published imminently.
For more about the new translation, including its formal launch this evening at Longside Parish Church at 7.30pm, visit https://doricboard.com/news/launch-of-the-doric-aul-testament-by-gordon-m-hay/ and https://www.northern-scot.co.uk/news/aul-and-new-testaments-translated-into-doric-317885/.
