Och Wheesht And Get Oan Wae It

We're very proud of Bookspeed's first foray into publishing!

In the style of Keep Calm And Carry On, Och Wheesht is a compilation of Scottish wit and wisdom for every occasion, presented in a well known series format. 160 pages of hilarious and stimulating one line quotes. Scottish humour is world-renowned; robust, dry, self-deprecating, fatalistic and deflationary , but can also be inspiring and uplifting. It is humour born of a place that has known its fair share of tragedy and hard times, and where no one is above being taken down a peg or two.
