It’s widely reported that Eskimos have over 50 words for snow. Given the equivalent ubiquity of rain in Britain’s northern climes, it is not surprising that Scots have coined just as many (and possibly many more) expressions for the many different types of precipitation that fall from our skies. In this book Ron Butlin introduces 50 of the most colourful Scottish words for rain in humorous and memorable verse, imaginatively accompanied with illustrations by Tim Kirby ISBN: 9781780275574 Publication date: 06/03/2025 Format: Paperback Publisher: Birlinn Ltd Stock status: Reprinting March 2025 Categories: Birlinn/Polygon , Humour
