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.

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.

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
