"Mr. Punch in the Highlands" by J. A. Hammerton and Charles Keene is a collection of humorous sketches and illustrations written in the late 19th century.

The book showcases a variety of artists known for their talents in depicting humor, capturing the essence of both sport and everyday life in the Highlands. The opening of "Mr. Punch in the Highlands" establishes the book's tone, celebrating the humor found in the peculiarities of Scottish life and sport, particularly from an English perspective. It outlines the relationship between Highlanders and their English visitors, emphasizing self-deprecating jokes that often highlight the Scottish ability to laugh at themselves.
