The first book in Birlinn’s new-look Traditional Scotland series is a concise and wide-ranging introduction to Scottish customs. It features hundreds of Scottish customs associated with a huge range of topics - key events of our lives, from birth to death, as well as those associated with the world of work, food and drink, health, animals and nature. Extracts from written works through the ages bring these customs to life and show how important they have been in the story of Scotland for thousands of years.
