[1][2] This primary aim was fulfilled in 1976 with the completion of the 10-volume Scottish National Dictionary (SND),[3] covering the language from 1700 to 1976.
Material for SND is drawn from a wide variety of written and oral sources of Lowland Scots from Shetland to Ulster.
The Association also established an ongoing Word Collection in order to create a constantly updated resource on modern Scots.
In 2001, the SNDA was a partner with the University of Dundee in a major digitisation project to create the online Dictionary of the Scots Language (DSL).
DSL also undertakes a wide programme of educational work throughout Scotland, with people of all ages and abilities..
