This Cross-party group's purpose:

To preserve, promote and encourage the use of the Scots Language amongst MSPs, the wider Scottish Parliament and Scottish Society and to help inform the Scottish Government in taking forward legislation relating to the Scots Language.

The group will also serve to raise questions of the Scottish Government, with the aim of ensuring support is available to those who wish to use the Scots Language and ensuring that Scots is recognised equitably to Scotland’s other main languages, such as Gaelic.
