George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm is to be translated into Scots.
The book is one of nine titles to be published in the Scots language, with funding from the Scots Language Resource Network.
It has already been translated into Gaelic but this is the first time it will be able to be read in Scots.
Edinburgh publisher Luath Press said it believed Mr Orwell would have been pleased with the development for his work.
The publisher said: "We are very confident that Thomas Clark will create a superb rendering of the book in Scots, and that Orwell himself would have approved, given his comments on Scottish linguistic culture."
Orwell wrote his best-known work, 1984, while living on a farmhouse in Barnhill on the Island of Jura.
