I can reccomend Knuckledragger by Scott Taylor
a really amusing book full of tales of a careen spent as a bouncer and other amusing anecdotes
Available on kindle

The Raumsey stuff by Byrne is really shallow and drawn out - Molly Weir meets Mills & Boon. Can't believe they're trotting out another one.

Cop of the north by Robbie Sutherland is worth a read.

Having never read any Molly Weir or Mills & Boon, I must concede you have an advantage over me. I have, however, read all the Raumsey books. As a native of Caithness with a fishing background I find the novels evocative and true to life.

It was rather far fetched but I liked his online character BuckTooth MacaToot (search it on YouTube) - he should have done more with the purely fictional like that.

TBH I think it was all genuine anecdotes, heard many of them recalled on DHB
the "wobbly willy" about the Elgin gloryhole is quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever heard
