Scotland for Beginners: 1314 an’ A’ That

Rupert Besley

A spoof guide to all things Scottish, combining cartoons and text to present a garbled, muddled but affectionate version of Scottish affairs, sending up the traditional misty-eyed Brigadoon view of Scotland with all its tartan biscuit tins and bow-tied Scotty dog postcards.
