Peter Ross' articles from around Scotland provide a piece-by-piece portrait of a nation as it changes.

They show Scotland as she really is, a hopeful country not without problems and pain but a nation made great by the people who live, love, laugh and graft there.

From anatomists who find dissection beautiful to chip-shop owners who sing arias while serving fish suppers, the Scots in these pages come over as eccentric, humorous, moving and extraordinary.

I enjoyed this book a great deal. It is a collection of articles written for a paper in Scotland. Peter Ross writes about some local customs I did not come across in my other readings about Scotland. There are a few places he wrote about that inspire me to seek them out. He writes vividly and sensitively and while he is often amused, he is always kind, even if a little sentimental.

Delightful light read about Scotland and the Scots

The voices put on by the reader were off-putting at times. Also, there are at least two false starts (one marked with an emphatic swear) that the editor missed. Otherwise, I enjoyed the book greatly. I’m visiting Scotland soon and enjoyed this collection of slice-of-life essays as I prepare.
