Synopsis:
A compact cornucopia of fascinating and hilarious revelations about all things Scottish - from monarchs and malts to tartans and Taggart.
As the proud possessors of a fiercely independent creative heritage, the Scots were a race apart even before Hadrian built the wall. Scotland has produced an indomitable bunch of fighters, builders, thinkers and drinkers, poets, players and pedagogues that have shaped the course of modern history. Scotland: 1,001 Things You Need To Know is the real McCoy, a comprehensive guide to Caledonia and its remarkable people.
