Summary | "Reminiscences of Scottish Life & Character" by Edward Bannerman Ramsay is a collection of memoirs and reflections written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the cultural and social tapestry of Scotland, specifically highlighting the peculiar customs, humor, and daily lives of its people, informed by the author’s personal experiences and historical observations. Through his narratives, Ramsay captures the essence of Scottish life and character, offering readers a glimpse into a bygone era. The opening of this volume introduces us to Ramsay's early life, detailing his formative years and the environments that shaped him. He reflects on his experiences at various schools, revealing a vivid picture of rural English village life contrasted with his Scottish heritage. The text describes the simplicity and quaintness of local customs, such as the unique rites associated with funerals and the community's relationship with its clergy. Ramsay's detailed recollections not only shed light on his upbringing but also set the stage for deeper explorations into Scottish religious traditions, conviviality, and the quirks of local humor and character that fill the subsequent chapters.
