Imprints
Birlinn Limited is composed of a number of imprints, including:
- Birlinn, which publishes Scottish interest books, from biography to history, military history and Scottish Gaelic. (Its name comes from the old Norse word Шаблон:Lang, meaning a long boat or small galley with 12 to 18 oars, used especially in the Hebrides and West Highlands of Scotland in the Middle Ages.[3])

It was founded in the late 1960s by students of the University of Edinburgh.[4]
