About This Item
London: Frederick Muller Ltd., 1956. Can anyone really understand the Scots? If anyone can, it is Mr. McLaren who is very much of a European as well as Scot. His roots are in his native land where he lives, but he has travelled much. In this book he discourses affectionally, yet humorously, on his compatriots, their admirable qualities and their absurdities, as well as some of their more irritating failings. He opens his book with the profound remark, " The first thing to understand about the Scots is that they are not English." Then adds, " The second thing to understand is that they are not British." Red boards with gilt title print to spine. Endpapers have no ownership markings. A clean copy in an illustrated dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Fair.
