Anotácia knihy

The mores, customs, beliefs, and rites in Scotland are examined in a fanciful and humorous way in this book. Events such as fairs are annotated in the light of modern sports and technology; this is also true concerning etiquette and everyday life. Kings, Queens, peasants, and ordinary people are featured in alight and air way gently satirizing their activities. A total of twelve segments involve marriages, weddings, and love: brides' selling ale to pay for the wedding, cake, shoes, cushion dancing, sack posset, and match making figure in bizarre and hilarious circumstances. Other categories include Agriculture, Foods, Holidays, Entertainment, Education, and sports. One of the articles concerns a man named Heywood who defined an interesting ancient saying: "We have a crow to pull," as follows: "A jealous wife whose husband was taking certain liberties with her maid."
