Visitors Guide to Scotland

This is an amusing (and lengthy) illustrated collection of "advice" for tourists and insights into Scotland and the Scots. It repeats all the stereotypes from haggis to ethnic jokes about Americans, Japanese and Germans. There is advice such as "Blend in with the locals by purchasing a pair of tartan trousers, and a tartan bunnet with a furry bobble on the top(totally untrue!!). You will then be able to infiltrate local public houses etc without being discovered." Scottish culinary delights like deep-fat frying pizzas are also revealed!

Life in the USA looks at the language problem of "English" and "American".

Cartoon character Lobey Dosser, his arch enemy Rank Badjin and other cast members ride across the Internet instead of the Glasgow Evening Times. The animated Gif files as well as the cartoon strips themselves provide the unique flavour of a well loved Scottish institution. There is also a short biography of Bud Neil the cartoonist who created Lobey.
