"Staggering Bobs or A Tale for Scotchmen" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, produced in the late 18th century. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and political commentary, was a prominent figure in the Golden Age of British caricature. This particular work, like many of Gillray's prints, is a visual critique that reflects the political and social tensions of the time, specifically targeting Scottish figures or themes that were contentious within the British political landscape.

The print likely features exaggerated figures and scenarios, a hallmark of Gillray's style, to lampoon its subjects and convey a narrative that would have resonated with contemporary audiences. As with much of his work, "Staggering Bobs or A Tale for Scotchmen" would have been published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a longstanding professional relationship. Her shop in London was the primary venue for the distribution of his prints.
