Synopsis

What makes the Ultimate Scot? Is it the ability to identify a tartan pattern from 50 yards? Maybe its being able to recite the two forgotten verses of Auld Lang Syne? Or perhaps its knowing your single malt from a double malt? The Ultimate Guide to Being Scottish examines in hilarious detail the history, politics and traditions that make Scots great. Exploring the best of Scottish culture, this book focuses on the celebrations that Scots have made their own, from Hogmanay to the Edinburgh Fringe festival. Mixing fact and practical hints (like the ideal recipe for boiled sheeps head) with witty banter, The Ultimate Guide to Being Scottish is perfect for injecting Scotlands unique and beloved brand of merriment into the year.
