<p>Customs play an important part in all societies and offer fascinating insights into a country’s history and culture. Scotland boasts a multitude of unique customs, many of which can be traced back to the times of the Druids, Celts and Romans.\nThis book introduces hundreds of Scottish customs associated with a huge range of topics. As well as customs associated with key events of our lives, from birth to death, it also includes customs associated with the world of work, food and drink, health, animals and nature. Extracts from written works through the ages bring these customs to life and show how important they have been in the story of Scotland for thousands of years.</p>

Customs have always played a central part in Scots' lives, and the customs of the Scots represent one of the most rich and enduring parts of their heritage. From birth to death, through work and the natural world, they are surrounded by lore and traditions, some of extraordinary antiquity. Sheila Livingstone's book is the first full study of these. She breaks her subject down into thematic chapters, each containing listings of associated customs within. The result is a fascinating compendium to skim through or delve into. This is a new and expanded edition.
