Quotable Scots
by Carole McKenzie

Robert Burns is a Scot of world renown, and his comment on quotations is typical of the Scottish character. However, if not out to impress the opposite sex, Scots will not waste time with fancy prose, for example, Bill Shankly's accolade to Jock Stein after Celtic's European Cup final victory over Inter Milan. "John, you're immortal."

Although a small nation, Scotland has produced a high proportions quotable Scots, who have made their distinctive mark on world history. This book gathers together some of their memorable sayings. Scots can be found in all the far-flung corners of the world but wherever they reside, whatever their circumstances, they remain essentially Scots. As Sean once commented:

I have always had a terrible fight to get work in Britain on account of my Edinburgh accent. And I still haven't lost it completely. I can't --- I don't think it is right to loose."
