"First thing each morning I turn to The Herald on my computer - first for its witty Diary, which helps keep my Scots sense of humour in tune"
 - Sir Sean Connery

Wherever Scots gather they tell jokes and stories. And the very best of these much-loved tales find their way to the daily Diary column of Scotland’s best-selling quality newspaper, The Herald. It is the home of humour from the chip-shop queues of late-night Glasgow, to the bons mots of High Court judges, to the humour of the classroom. No wonder Sir Sean says it is the first thing he reads online every day from his home in the Bahamas.

In this volume we gather the very best tales from the column, proving that ordinary Scots are still the natural comedians of the world.
