This collection spans the entire gamut of a nation's recorded thought and experience from Roman Scotland to the present day. It reveals the spirit of Scotland in a truly unique way.

About the author

David Ross has written numerous books on aspects of Scottish history and culture, some serious and some less so. His most recent is The Killing Time, a study of Scotland between the Covenant of 1638 and the Union of 1707. Scottish humour is a particular interest, and he is compiler and editor of the best-selling Awa' an' Bile Yer Heid, an anthology of choice Scottish insults.
