The aim of this paper is to present the category ofgolfin a newHistorical Thesaurus of Scots(HTS). A new project to create aPilot Historical Thesaurus of Scots(PHiTS) was based at the University of Glasgow. TheHistorical Thesaurus of Scotsis a new resource of Scots containing vocabulary from the twelfth century to the present day, which is organised according to the relationship of synonymy and by semantic category. The thesaurus is based on the semantic information found in an existing digital resource, theDictionary of the Scots Language, and is entirely digital. TheHTSis modelled on theHistorical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary(HTOED), the first historical thesaurus for any language, which was compiled at the University of Glasgow and published in 2009. In the pilot phase of the project, which was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), and which lasted until September 2015, we explored domains which are lexically abundant in Scots. One such domain wassports and games, and this paper will present some initial results of our research, focusing on the game of golf.
