A book of Scottish Curses and Insults, many a good bit more literary than the title suggests. The very large selection is mainly Scots being rude about just about everybody, but the author and publisher have been brave enough to include a chapter of others, mainly the English, being rude about the Scots. Many a good chuckle, and a surprising amount of interest. Illustrated with loads of funny wee sketches by Rupert Besley. 246 pge paperback. Birlinn
