520			_a"The Unspeakable Scot" by T. W. H. Crosland is a critical examination of Scottish culture and character written in the early 20th century. This work combines elements of essay and social commentary, showcasing a blend of humor and satire as it dissects various stereotypes and perceptions of Scots. The author expresses a strong personal viewpoint, suggesting a general disdain for Scottish traits and portraying Scotsmen, particularly in their interactions with the English, in a rather unflattering light. The opening of the book introduces the author's perspective, revealing his intention to critique the Scottish character while also acknowledging the fierce pride Scots often hold regarding their identity. He humorously suggests that Scotsmen believe themselves to be the "salt of the earth," but argues that this self-perception is inflated and misleading. The passage contrasts two schools of thought—the Old School that romanticizes Scottish virtues, and the New School that offers a more critical and cynical view. Through anecdotes and observations, the author explores themes such as pride, independence, and the complexities of identity, setting a provocative tone for the essays that follow.
