What is means to be a Scot by a Scot

Understanding the Scots by Moray McLaren is a fun book explaining all the reasons being a Scot is great. Each chapter is liberally laced with funny stories and anecdotes that anyone can enjoy. Mr. McLaren explains the difference between Highlanders and Lowlanders, the languages, Whiskey, the truth about kilts and tartan and even why the Scots love or hate Robert Burns, Walter Scot and "Bonnie Prince Charlie". Understanding the Scots is a quick read that is fun yet informative cover to cover. A must on any proud Scot's or Scottish descendant's book shelf. When people question you about your Scottish pride, loan them this book and all will be clear.
