Back cover text:

This book is a celebration of all that is dreich. To my mind the images in this book are uplifting and joyful. There is nothing miserable about dreich. A sunny day has no more right to exist than a dreich one. Here, then, are fifty dreich images, accompanied by fifty equally dreich captions.

Reviews:

‘This book is a joy to behold, as Alan McCredie has gone around the city photographing things you wouldn’t normally expect to see in a work showcasing a major city […] But that’s why this book works so well – it’s not a picture postcard perfect look at the city, it’s Edinburgh, for real, showing that beauty can be found in all forms’ – Scottish Field

Praise for Alan McCredie:

‘[This is Scotland] uses pictures, many of them neglected yet glorious and charming in their own way, to tell 1,000 stories.’ – The Press and Journal

‘...an honest account of real places and people... a refreshing journey which makes you wonder, what is Scotland to you?’ – The Skinny on This is Scotland.
