The Vernacular Circle, of the Burns Club of London, was set up in 1920 for discussions of the future of the [[Scots language]] (known variously, e.g. as Lallans or Braid Scots). Bulloch became president, with William Will, another Scottish journalist, as Secretary. It involved Bulloch in controversy with the poet [[Christopher Grieve]] (Hugh MacDiarmid). The latter's views on Scots were close to those of [[Lewis Spence]], and he had taken to heart the strictures and mockery of [[George Gregory Smith]] on dialect Scots, who had written in 1919 of "the surprising travesty called 'Braid Scots'".<ref name="Bold">{{cite book |last1=Bold |first1=Alan |title=MacDiarmid: Christopher Murray Grieve, a Critical Biography |date=1990 |publisher=Univ of Massachusetts Press |isbn=978-0-87023-714-0 |pages=124–126 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Smith |first1=George Gregory |title=Scottish literature, character & influence |date=1919 |publisher=London : Macmillan and co., limited |page=138 |url=https://archive.org/details/scottishliteratu00smitiala/page/138/mode/1up}}</ref>
