Summary "The Collected Writings of Dougal Graham, 'Skellat' Bellman of Glasgow, Vol. II" is a historical collection of Scottish chap literature, likely written in the late 18th century. This volume includes various folk tales and humorous narratives that reflect the culture and society of Scotland during that time, featuring characters such as Jockey and Maggy, whose courtship story showcases the social norms and comedic elements of courting rituals. At the start of this volume, the story "Jockey and Maggy's Courtship" unfolds as Jockey, a young man, courts Maggy, who expresses concerns over their respective family situations and the expectations of marriage. Their playful banter reveals typical themes of love, economic considerations, and the pressures of societal conformity. As they discuss their families and financial prospects, their dialogue is rich with humor and Scottish dialect, setting the tone for the ensuing comedic misadventures that define their relationship and courtship.
