Summary

Wry, dry, moving and humorous, these tales capture the flavour of the North-east as never before and are written in the dialect of the area as it has been used over the last six decades. The background detail and form of the language are entirely authentic, whether the scene is Buchan, Edinburgh or further afield. Although engaging and easy to read, an appendix is included which analyses the language and spelling.

Author Biography

He has served as Senior Assistant Editor of the Scottish National Dictionary, and has been Director of the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, of the School of Scottish Studies of the University of Edinburgh, and of the European Ethnological Research Centre, for which he is now a consultant.
