Sinossi
Over five hundred Scots proverbs and rhymes with a Scots glossary, as well as a collection of Gaelic proverbs with translation. As Forbes Macgregor wrote in his introduction, 'There is no surer guide to the general character of a race than a study of its proverbs.' Where necessary, a brief explanation of the proverb is provided. As Forbes Macgregor pointed out, 'Some Scots proverbs are so very ancient that they refer to a manner of life which has totally disappeared. Both the vocabulary and the background have to be explained. Others refer to historical events and incidents which are fairly well known. Some are purely local sayings which, however, still hold human interest. Many proverbs are so self-explanatory as to be called truisms. But they also have their value in a Scottish collection.' 'Fair words winna mak the pot boil', and 'When a' men speak, nae man hears', but... 'Auld saws speak truth'.
