This title is an informative, humorous explanation of the words and phrases used in the 'Highland Capital,' many of which are unique to the area, as well as a series of observations on Inverness's culture, history, characters, and much else. Written by an Invernessian, who escaped to London over 40 years ago, the book is a nostalgic, affectionate and wry guide to Inverness. Unlike most guidebooks, it concentrates on the reality of the place rather than on presenting Inverness as a kilted, 'shinin' heather,' Gaelic paradise which was created specially for visitors and tourists.
