This book is a collection of humorous Scottish short stories and anecdotes that delve into the lives and characters of ordinary people living in the country's industrial heartlands. The author draws on personal experience to depict the lives of factory workers and their families at the end of the 19th century. Expanding on this portrayal, the book explores issues of class, poverty, and industrialisation in a rapidly changing society. This is a light-hearted, nostalgic, and socially conscious book, celebrating the resilience of the human spirit and recording traditional Scottish life in a time of great change.
