Overview

The people of Scotland have a reputation for being many things, but what makes us who we are? In Wha's Like Us? Chris Robinson explores the Scottish character and uncovers some amazing facts about the Scots and the words we use to describe ourselves. Are we generous or mean, serious or seriously funny, outgoing or thrawn? Wha's Like Us? takes an informative and amusing look at how we see ourselves, at our attitudes to work, love, money, envy, anger and entertainment and at the Scots words and phrases we use to describe the Scottish psyche. And you might not be so surprised to know that there are far more Scots words for sinners than for saints!
