    About this ebook

    A small book of poems written in the Scottish brogue. A great read for Scottish ex-pats who want to look back at how it was in the good old days, back home. Covering everything from hanging out the washing to Shuggie drunk as a lord reeling home at night. Lots of laughs with fun poked at the local councillors, and a hilarious look at life in Dundee in the 50,s and early 60,s.

    David Barron

    I was born in Dundee in Scotland, and was a student at the University of Abertay. I have written many pieces of poetry over the years for Tailcast.com under my own name. I still write poetry but lately I have tried children's stories. The first was as a story to tell the grandchildren. As you can see I have written quite a few books now, but struggle to find the time to write more.I have a couple of new one's in the pipeline and I hope that you will all bear with me, I'm sure the kids will love them. Oh and I haven't forgotten the older generation among you and have a great idea for a new book that I'm sure you'll like also. Much love to all who have taken the time to read my stuff. Any feedback at vegvanman@live.co.uk.
