Linguistic Atlases and Corpora:
Over more than half a century, key resources for working with Old, Middle English and Older Scots have been developed at Edinburgh. Many of them are available here.
The Angus McIntosh Centre for Historical Linguistics draws on, and seeks to continue, a long and distinguished history of studies at the University of Edinburgh.  It follows in the footsteps of the University’s Institute for Historical Dialectology in taking an empirical approach to linguistic variation across time and space.  Although much of this work has centred around the history of English and Scots, the Centre is interested in historical linguistics and language change independent of specific temporal, geographical or genetic affiliations.
