Book excerpt: Ever wondered what it’s really like to navigate the quirky, peculiar, and downright baffling world of Scottish culture? Prepare yourself for a rollicking, laughter-filled adventure through the misty highlands and bustling cities of Scotland with this one-of-a-kind guide. Whether you're planning a trip to Edinburgh, trying to survive a family dinner in Glasgow, or simply want to understand why Scots refuse to acknowledge the existence of summer, this book has you covered. From the national obsession with deep-fried everything to the mysterious art of the "Scottish Goodbye" (hint: it takes at least 30 minutes), this book unpacks everything you need to know about the land of kilts, whisky, and surprisingly friendly but fiercely proud people. Discover how a square sausage can redefine your entire breakfast experience, why every Scot is secretly a poet when it comes to swearing, and the complicated yet deeply emotional relationship with their national drink (spoiler: it’s Irn-Bru, not Coke). Along the way, you’ll learn the unspoken rules of ceilidh dancing (hint: it’s like a social survival test), why the weather could make or break your day, and how to pass for a local—even if you’re just there for the shortbread. Prepare to meet legendary figures like The Loch Ness Monster (who's definitely real, obviously), and hear stories of the real battle between Edinburgh and Glasgow—it's the rivalry that’s been simmering since 1450, and it's not slowing down anytime soon. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of all things Scottish or just someone who’s fascinated by the mysterious ways of a nation that celebrates rain like it’s an Olympic sport, this book will give you all the laughs, facts, and a dose of Scottish wisdom you didn’t know you needed. Get ready to laugh out loud, shake your head in disbelief, and maybe even say "Aye" at least once while reading. And remember, if you're not enjoying yourself by the end of this book, there’s always the possibility that you’re just "no' getting it." But don’t worry—we’ll forgive you anyway. Perfect for anyone looking to laugh, learn, and embrace the beautiful weirdness that is Scotland. Welcome to the family!
