''The Aberdeenshire Lintie'' is a collection of poems and songs written by John Avery and first published in 1854. The book is a celebration of the dialect and culture of Aberdeenshire, a region in northeast Scotland. The title of the book refers to the lark, a bird that is a symbol of the region. The poems and songs in the book cover a wide range of topics, including love, nature, and everyday life in Aberdeenshire. Many of the pieces are written in the Scots language, which is a dialect of English spoken in Scotland. The book provides a glimpse into the language and culture of a specific region of Scotland during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
