Summary: "Scottish toasts by Charles Welsh" is a collection of toasts, sentiments, and after‑dinner anecdotes compiled in the early 20th century. It serves as a convivial handbook, offering ready-made lines for festive gatherings, with a clear focus on Scottish patriotism, fellowship, love, humor, and the social rituals around food, song, and whisky. The book opens with an introduction and a playful “Scotch Nicht” menu, then arranges its material into themed sections: Patriotic Toasts that praise Scotland’s landscapes, heroes, and symbols; a set of lively Volunteer and soldier anecdotes under Patriotic Scotsmen; affectionate and companionable lines in Toasts to Women, Love, Friendship; rollicking Convivial and Humourous Toasts celebrating John Barleycorn; and a batch of ribald, ironic whisky tales in Some After Dinner Stories. Further Miscellaneous Toasts and a closing Miscellany mix blessings, Scots dialect, and quotations (often from Burns and Scott), touching on bagpipes, St. Andrew’s Day, golf, and homely virtues. The result is a compact, browseable treasury designed to arm any toastmaster with a fitting line for almost any Scottish occasion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
