Flora Garry (30 September 1900 – 16 June 2000) was a Scottish poet who mostly wrote in the Scots dialect of Aberdeenshire.
Well known for her poetry, she played an important role along with Charles Murray and John C. Milne in validating the literary use of Scots.
[1] Flora Garry did not start to write poetry until World War II, and did not publish anything until she was an old age pensioner.
Although she wrote fine English, her full talent emerged in her work in the local Buchan dialect.
"[6] Another has said she was "one of the most uncompromising of recent dialect poets; but the great affection in which she and her work are locally held is clear evidence not only for the vitality of her Doric as a poetic medium but for the strength of the folk-memory of traditional NE farming life.
