120.Section 37 gives the Scottish Ministers a power to give guidance to relevant public authorities relating to promoting, facilitating and supporting the use of the Scots language (including different dialects of the Scots language) and developing and encouraging Scots culture. The Scottish Ministers must consult interested persons in preparing the guidance. Such persons could include, for example, bodies such as Scots Hoose and Yaldi Books.
121.Subsection (5) defines Scots culture in an analogous way to the definition of Gaelic culture in section 10 of the 2005 Act.
