Product Description
Synopsis
The Scottish language is rich in proverbs, sayings, maxims and wise aphorisms. Sadly, in the transition from the abacus to the computer, most of these have become outdated. This great little gift book thrusts these expressions into the 21st century providing millennia of wisdom in a practical modern format. It covers everything from bagpipes to whisky with a few mentions of our dear neighbours, the Sassenachs, thrown in. So whether you are Scottish, a tourist visiting Scotland, an illegal immigrant gutting fish on Shetland or have found this book abandoned on a Trans-Siberian train, you are sure to be inspired and amused by our wit and wisdom. The section on chat-up lines and insults will certainly help you, especially if you should venture into a Scottish pub or nightclub, and could just make the difference between getting a French kiss or a Glasgow kiss.

5.0 out of 5 stars
He was most amused!,
By London Girl 47 (Bedfordshire,England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Midge in Your Hand is Worth Two Up Your Kilt: Modern Scottish Proverbs (Hardcover)
I bought this for my husband(who is Scottish)as a birthday present. He found the quotes very, very funny, chuckling away to himself for a good couple of hours. As a "Southern Softie", I have to admit that I didn't get all of the humour, but I'm still giving this 5 stars as my husband obviously did! I would say that this is quite a small book, so would make a good stocking filler for a Scottish( Male) relative who's difficult to buy for.I should also point out that many of the gags are of an ADULT nature with some strong language...so make sure that the recipient of the book is suitably broad-minded..you have been warned!!
