A 100% agree wi the tap fower o yon Guardian tap hunner quairs leet, by ra wey...

That's it by. Aw hunner quairs hiv been annoonced an The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie is the ainlie Scottish nuvel tae mak the leet. Efter 400-odd year o dingyin Scots as a leid o leeteratur an yaisin English insteid, Scottish scrievers ur maistly naewhaur... www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int...

Richt, here ma #FitbaSpaeman patter for THE MAIST MUCKLE WEEKEN O FITBA syne the last yin. First, the fower deid rubbers: Bairns 2 - 1 Teds Dee 2 - 2 Dandies Livi 1 - 3 Killie Buddies 2 - 0 Arabs For fowert: Hibs 1 - 1 Well An the muckle yin the morra...

ERR OOR MURIEL AT NUMMER THIRTY WAN Awtho sax ither buiks got 10 votes, same as Jean Brodie, sae A dinnae ken hou they chuised tae rank aw thaim. An shree o her votes wur fae Scottish fowk. Wur thae objective wales? Onywey, ony mair Scottish quairs tae come? A cannae see it, tae be candid wi ye.

Those potential challengers in full:

Up tae 41 an nae Scots scrievers. Gin Muriel is in the tap 40 syne she's daein gey weel. An gin she (or onybodie else) is in the lave o the leet syne yon buik is (accordin tae the fowk that chuised the leet) the best ever Scottish nuvel in English. No that yon wis the Guardian's ettle, o coorse.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooft! BRING ON SETURDAY!!!!

Up tae 61 an nae Scots scrievers yet. Awtho A see Rankin says he votit for a Spark nuvel an ye cannae see it on his leet, sae Muriel will be somewhaur atween 1 an 60. Ma spaein'd still be kind o richt but. Unless Ali Smith gets yin in. Cannae really see onybodie else, no Scott, RLS or Conan Doyle.

*sh<th klaxon* Rare tae see in print but ye'll hear eg shree '3' in SW Scotland gin ye lug oot fur it

Scot Lit Spaeman Patter: Thare will be nae (zero) Scottish scrievers on this leet. An gin thare is, they'll hae been born afore the en o WW1, sae Scott, RLS, Conan Doyle or Spark. Sae muckle for the Fyfe Report, eh?
