The book is a collection of memories and anecdotes about life in the Manse, a Scottish term for a minister's residence, in the Mearns region of Scotland. Inglis shares stories about the people who lived in the Manse and the surrounding area, including his family, friends, and neighbors. He also discusses the customs and traditions of the Mearns region, including the language, food, and celebrations. The book provides a glimpse into the daily life of people in rural Scotland during the late 19th century. The title, Oor Ain Folk, translates to ""Our Own People"" in English, and reflects Inglis' affection for the community he grew up in.
