About This Book

A volume gathers short chapbook tales, songs, ballads, and comic sketches rendered in Scots vernacular that depict courtships, domestic quarrels, funerals, practical jokes, and mock-sermons. Its pieces alternate dialogue-driven episodes and lyrical or satirical interludes, showcasing local customs, superstitions, gossip, and the foibles of everyday folk. Interspersed are parodic catechisms, epitaphs, and humorous wills, with a glossary to aid readers; the tone ranges from bawdy humour to affectionate caricature of small‑town life.
