Description
Collated from sources including Helen Beaton's 1925 At the Back o' Benachie and Professor Alexander Fenton's collection of the sayings of Aberdeenshire parishes in the 1950s, this is a cornucopia of Doric wit and wisdom, some of it in the form of rhyme and riddle. Inside are couthie comments about everyday life; caustic remarks about the neighbours; philosophical reflections on work or the weather; and observations such as this: aathing his an eyn but a mealie pudden his twa.
