My Man Sandy is an interesting tale about a strange Scottish man named Sandy. Salmond writes with an accurate and lively Scottish accent about this man making a life for himself, buying a new horse, studying geometry, and involving himself in other activities in a small town. Excerpt: “He's a queer cratur, my man Sandy! He's made, mind an' body o' him, on an original plan a'thegither. He says an' does a' mortal thing on a system o' his ain; Gairner Winton often says that if Sandy had been in the market-gardenin' line, he wudda grown his cabbage wi' the stocks aneth the ground, juist to lat them get the fresh air aboot their ruits.”
