History

Set up in 2002 with initial funding from the Scottish Arts Council, the Itchy Coo imprint began as a partnership between the publisher and a group of three writers (Matthew Fitt, James Robertson and Susan Rennie).[11][12][13][14] Itchy Coo publishes books in Scots for children and is the primary provider of educational material in the language,[15][16][17][7][18][19][20][21][22] a Scottish Arts Council report stating that "There has never before been such a significant and concentrated input of Scots language materials into schools".[23] Creative Scotland awarded funding for several titles.[24] Until 2011 Itchy Coo ran an education and outreach programme, delivering 500 in-service training sessions to teachers and visiting 1000 schools.[23] A Scottish Government ministerial working group report stated in 2010 that "The Itchy Coo project has been the main driver of change for Scots since 2002 and has brought about a huge shift in attitudes towards the language in education".[19]Template:Rp Itchy Coo publish translations into Scots of such authors as Raymond Briggs, Roald Dahl,[25] Julia Donaldson, Jean-Yves Ferri (Asterix), Jeff Kinney, A. A. Milne, J. K. Rowling, Alexander McCall Smith, Robert Louis Stevenson and David Walliams.[4][26] Dahl's The Eejits and Geordie's Mingin Medicine attained number one bestseller in Scotland.[19][27]

Black & White Publishing has sponsored the Scots Schuil o the Year category since the inception of the Scots Language Awards in 2019.[28][29] They themselves won in the 2019 Scots Business o the Year category and Scots Bairn's Book o the Year was awarded to an Itchy Coo title in 2019 and 2020.[28][29][30][31][32] One of the first Itchy Coo titles, Animal ABC, was awarded the Saltire Society/Times Education Scotland Prize in 2002,[33] and Black & White received a commendation in the 2015 Saltire Society Publisher of the Year Award.[34]
