Fighting the good fight for Doric: my interview with Dr Tom McKean, director of the Elphinstone Institute, on the challenges and successes of keeping Doric alive and thriving. His story about Handel’s Messiah is truly inspiring! #Doric #ElphinstoneInstitute #TomMcKean #IonaFyfe #RobbieShepherd #AberdeenUniversity https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6588440/tom-mckean-doric-elphinstone-institute-30-years/

Robbie Shepherd was a great champion of music, the arts and the Doric language, during his life. And now, a series of legacy projects have been devised by his great friend, Robert Lovie. These include two bursaries to encourage young people at the Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow and the Elphinstone Institute at Aberdeen University. Robbie would approve! #RobbieShepherd #Doric #RobertLovie https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6499949/robert-lovie-robbie-shepherd-legacy-projects-memory/

BBC News: Veteran broadcaster Robbie Shepherd dies aged 87.

RIP. Apart from his radio work he used to be the stadium commentator for the #Tomintoul Highland Games. A grand job he made of it. A sad loss to lovers of the #Doric tongue.
