Proverbs, once described as 'the wisdom of many and the wit of one', offer unique insights the way of life and the social mores of past generations.

This book features an introduction which explores the role of proverbs in Scottish culture and over 1,000 proverbs arranged in easily accessible A-Z format.

The addition of a comprehensive glossary will help you fully appreciate these colourful and often humorous nuggets of wisdom and advice.

Jock's a mislear'd imp, but ye're a rum deil

Jock may be mischievous, but he's well behaved by your standards

The fish that sooms in a dub will aye taste o' mud

You can never change your upbringing

When ye can suit yer shanks to my shoon, ye may speak

Don't speak about me until you've been in a similar situation yourself
