Official synopsis Publisher
Natives know them. Visitors soon get to know them. Some, like the Golf Club Captain, the Last Real Barman and the Nippy Sweetie, are endangered species; others, like the Whisky Bore and the Munrobagger, are enduring figures on the Scottish landscape. Every generation produces its own variations on the Scottish character and it doesn’t take long for the newcomers to become familiar social types like the MSP, the Yooni Yah, the Rural Commuter and the Celebrity Chieftain. Julie Davidson’s wickedly observed profiles are complemented by Bob Dewar’s witty drawings in this roguish gallery of Scots We Ken.
