This is an enjoyable collection of Scottish folklore, history, traditions, poetry, and even a few literary extracts. Topography, place-names, clan histories, proverbs, weather and climate, law, holidays, recipes, toasts, and a Scots glossary all find their way into this book. If you are Scottish, you will appreciate this book; if you're not, you will wish you were. 'Tis a guid book, fou of lear, for a dark nicht before the gowans are bloomin'.
A good read for people of Scottish heritage

A good read for people of Scottish heritage. This book covers Scottish folklore. There are stories about fairies, mermaids, the Loch Ness Monster, (a.k.a. Nessie), and cats, to name a few. I got this book for Christmas in 1982 and I've read it. My advice is to buy it.
