Coorie - or còsagach in Gaelic - is the Scottish version of hygge. In The Art Of Coorie, Gabriella Bennett explores what coorie is and how it has helped nurture the astonishing creativity that Scotland is famed for, despite an often harsh and unforgiving climate.

The Art of Coorie explores lifestyle, homes and interiors, traditions, and how to enjoy life despite challenging elements. It looks at how to appreciate what we have around us and how to use the best of all things Scottish to enhance life and its pleasures.

"Find herein Gabriella catapulting coorie aw over Scotland's cultural cosmos and realms beyond. Out of a seedling of Scots sprouts fun, factual and gallus text that's the right measures of many 'hings: historical enough, sartorial enough, culinary enough, landscape and natural enough, objects enough, festive enough, boozy enough, lush enough fur sure. With stunning imagery, a cap doffed to literary leaders and paragoning songsmiths, plus a playlist to boot, it's an enchanting and interactive read."

"Gabriella Bennett's book on the cult of 'coorie' - a hug of a word - is a celebration of all that's best and beautiful about Scotland, from food to textiles, pubs to gardens. It made this Scottish émigré miss my homeland, its wildness and drama and warmth, with a physical pang. But I will never embrace the midge."
- MARINA O'LOUGHLIN, journalist, author and restaurant critic
