Highly recommended K...... contains all the nuance of the West Highland folk. Munro IMO was a hugely underrated writer, the Tales were written for the Evening Times and Munro considered them just a bit of amusement, but they encapsulated the complicated relationship between Highland and Lowland Scots, expressed with gentle ironic humour.

The cartoonist Bud Neill caught the lives and language of the urban Scot of the 40's and 50's to perfection. His characters, set in the film world of that time also came to life in the Times.
Lobby Dosser, Rank Bajin(villain),Rid Squerr(ghost...employed by the council to haunt the local cemetery), Ferry nuff, Adoda Glaur...I fondly remember them all. :0)
