I picked this book up while in Scotland. A lot of the humor went over my head as I think it is specific for the north-east region of Scotland and their particular type of humor. But, I still had fun reading it and got quite a few laughs out of it. I enjoyed peeping into another culture's style of humor and learning all the wonderful Doric words with the help of the glossary at the back of the book as well as the fun cartoons sprinkled throughout.
