“Scottish Lore and Folklore” is a compendium of history, trivia and folktales from Scotland, including recipes for traditional foods, a brief list of some of the more important battles and events in Scottish history, a number of folk tales and some fragments of letters and articles by and about various important literary figures from Scotland, among other things. It was published in 1982, although it feels older than that, and the writing is clear and crisp. But it is less interesting show more than I had hoped; I would have liked more folklore and less military history. Still, if you’re interested in this particular country, this is not a bad book with which to start. Mildly recommended. show less
