The research is largely concerned with describing children, teachers and their community's attitudes to Scots and the place of same in the classroom.  It also seeks to discover which particular individuals and social groups participants associate with Scots and overall considers why participants' attitudes regarding Scots and Scots speakers may have emerged, and perhaps remain.  Lastly, the research considers the possible challenges, benefits and ultimate caveats teachers, children and their communities face by including Scots in schools.
