Culture Shock Scotland (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) by James Grant. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781558686076.

Many of the stereotypes about Scotland and the Scots contradict the modern reality. The Scotland in brochures and travel guides--castles, romance, and battle sites--means little to most scots, who live in modern urban centers. In the spring of a political and cultural Renaissance, the Scots are faced with the challenge of redefining themselves. Like the constant flow of weather and seasons, change is the only certainty in Scotland. Filled with insightful interviews and anecdotes, practical tips and useful information, Culture Shock! Scotland looks beyond the stereotypes and provides a fresh and exciting perspective on this magical northern land.
