Synopsis
Although many nations of the ancient and medieval world were noted for their wealth of proverbs, the Scots had a pre-eminent reputation in this respect. It was said in England that no Scot could talk without using a proverb. The Scots thus held, until comparatively recent times, this reputation for terse and sententious language and they were exceptionally reluctant, even after the Union in 1707, to abandon ancient modes of thought and speech.
