100 Favourite Scottish Poems To Read Out Loud

Poems that roll off the tongue. Poems that trip up the tongue. Poems to shout. Poems to sing. Poems to declaim. Poems that you learned at school. Poems that will stay with you forever.

Do you have a poem off by heart but always get stuck at the second verse? Can your friends and family members recite at the drop of a hat while you only have a vague memory of the poems and songs learned as a child? Or do you just want an aide-memoire to the poems you know and love? This collection includes many popular Scottish poems, from The Wee Cock Sparra to The Four Maries, The Wee Kirkcudbright Centipede to John Anderson My Jo; as well as poetry by Sheena Blackhall, Norman MacCaig, Jimmy Copeland, Tom Leonard and many others.

Scots have ample opportunity to let rip with old favourites on Burns Night, St Andrew's Day, or at ceilidhs and festivals. Whatever your choice, this wide-ranging selection will give you and your audience (even if it's only your mirror) hours of pleasure and enjoyment.
