Awa' an' Bile Yer Heid! by David Ross
Over the centuries the Scots have made scathingly witty remarks on just about every subject under the sun - not least one another. This collection of Scottish curses and insults reveals the Scottish gift for insult and invective. Special features include a glossary of insulting terms and notes on some celebrated insulters. For the sake of maintaining perspective, the collection also features a range of less than ecstatic comments made on Scotland and the Scots by outsiders.
