Here are some recommendations of humourous books about Scotland (well, they tickled my fancy).
I also have links so you can buy them from
Amazon.co.uk - if you buy them this way, Amazon will pay me commission
on each book bought, which will help offset my costs in running this web site.
A tounge-in-cheek guide book to Scotland, which will even appeal to the locals.
Warning: some of the translations of English <-> Glaswegian are somewhat approximate...
Amazon's synopsis:
This history of Scotland addresses the questions that other texts ignore, such as: was Bannockburn a cake?; how bonnie was Prince Charlie?; and wha's like us? Combining accuracy and humour, this is Scottish history from a different angle.
This is a short 24-page full colour publication which takes a humorous look at ten topics stereotypically associated with the Scots - Being mean, ancestral research, the weather, kilts and tartan, bagpipes, language, whisky, football (and pubs), haggis and the Loch Ness monster.
