Clive Young

DR CLIVE YOUNG is an Edinburgh-born educational consultant now living in London. He is now the Head of Programme Development at University College London and taught as an Associate Lecturer at the Open University for a decade.

He created one of the first websites dedicated to the Scots language in 1996, coining the word ‘wabsteid’ on the way. While studying language and linguistics at the Open University he began to work on what is now scotslanguage.info, a searchable archive of Scots news from press and social media.
