About the book

The language of a city with character

Kate Sanderson celebrates the words, expressions and humour that make Glaswegian instantly recognisable. From everyday greetings and colourful turns of phrase to the vocabulary of childhood, work and city life, the dialect reflects the warmth and personality of Glasgow itself.

The book ranges far beyond a glossary, exploring food, football, music, architecture, the Clyde and the traditions of the Glasgow Fair. Personal memories and period photographs add a vivid sense of the people and places behind the language.
