The pocket book of Scottish quotations

David Ross

The Scots have always had a reputation for clarity of thought and the vigor with which it is put into words, and this wide-ranging collection of quotations by Scots and about Scots spans the entire gamut of a nation’s recorded thought and experience from Calgacus in 84 AD to Annabel Goldie in 2011. It covers a vast range of subjects and demonstrates a remarkable variety of moods and tones, from the literary to the colloquial and bawdy. Packed with sharp observation and humor, it reveals the spirit of Scotland in a truly unique way.
