SLD holds auction

The staff at Scots Language Dictionaries are holding an eBay auction of goodies, mementos and other items donated by various Scottish celebrities as part of its drive to raise money towards the support of the SLD. Earlier this year, the SLD, along with other Scots organisations such as the Scots Language Centre, was told that from spring 2009 its funding from the Scottish Arts Council would be cut. Now many actors and others have come forward and donated personal mementos for the SLD to put up and auction. Among the celebrities who have contributed are Robbie Coltrane, Richard Wilson, Alan Cumming, Andrew Marr and Ronnie Corbett, and Scottish comic Hardeep Singh Kohli has offered to cook a meal for six people!
