Ahem, and I quote...!
"I’ve just discovered Scottish forebears in my tree. Is there a book you would recommend which would give me a good overview of this area of research?
"For an easy-to-follow guide which is packed with good advice then Chris Paton’s Researching Scottish Family History is a great place to start. At 120 pages long it offers a relaxed approach to the subject and points you in the right direction to get the most out of the archives, records and resources available."
Now clearly, clearly, I am not at all going to be influenced with such a blatant attempt to win my support, no sirree, not this soldier, this wee shuggie will remain editorially independent, incorruptible, and dedicated to the task at hand. For we British - nay, those of us with Scottish blood in our veins, and the fire of Ulster in our souls - are so much more than that, and would never, NEVER, stoop so low.
However...
