Our Faither in heiven,

be hallowt thy name ;

thy Kíngdom come;

thy will be dune

on the yird, as in heiven.

Gíe us our breid for this incomin day;

forgíe us the wrangs we hae wrocht,

as we hae forgíen the wrangs we hae dree’d;

an sey-us-na sairlie, but sauf us

frae the Ill Ane:

for the Kíngdom, the pouer an the glorie ar thine

for ivver an aye. Amen.

— La Nosa Padre, de la pajeria de la Eglesa de Scotland

They took nae pains their speech to balance,

Or rules to gie;

But spak their thoughts in plain, braid lallans,

Like you or me.

— Robert Burns en Epistle To William Simson

"What tongue does your auld bookie speak?"

He'll spier; an' I, his mou to steik:

"No bein' fit to write in Greek,

I wrote in Lallan,

Dear to my heart as the peat reek,

Auld as Tantallon.

— Robert Louis Stevenson en The Maker to Posterity
