About this work

Description

A man is excreting into a bucket and saying: "Oh - my guts - Captn. dont you think I am reduced enough." A man in a tartan hat with a large thistle on the top replies: "Hoot awa' man, another muckle mess of crowdy, and few doses of Scotch pills, will do your buisness." A woman sits by the fire-place holding a large broom. The room is filled with all sorts of Scottish paraphernalia: scotch barley, sheeps heads, oatmeal, haggis, kale, scotch broth, gruel, oatcake, bannocks and whiskey.
