Gaelic Culture
A Collection of Gaelic Proverbs and Familiar Phrases
This book contains close to 4000 proverbs and "familiar phrases", each given in Gaelic along with a translation to English. Where appropriate there are explanatory notes to clarify the meaning; for example how would you interpret "The bagpipe is a miserable widow"? As if that were not enough Nicolson also provided any similar proverbs he was aware of from English, Irish, Welsh and a surprising range of other languages.
A fuller review of this book is also available.
