Book cover with the title "Scotland the Dreich, a celebration of all that is dreich". Showing a caravan on the side of the road in a drizzly landscape.

Complaining about the weather is a national pastime for Scots – it's no surprise that one of our favourite words is 'dreich'!

But there is nothing miserable about dreich. Explore dreich Scotland through photographs and words in this celebration of Scottish weather.

Photographer and author Alan McCredie invites you to celebrate all that is dreich, drawing from his books 'Scotland the Dreich' and 'Edinburgh the Dreich'.
