Summary

A compact cornucopia of fascinating and hilarious revelations about all things Scottish - from monarchs and malts to tartans and Taggart - is now in paperback. 'A real treat for the serendipitous Scotophile: plunge your hand into this bran-tub and it's hard not to come up with pure malt!' Reg Hill

Scotland Summary

Scotland: 1,000 Things You Need to Know by Edwin Moore

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: 1,000 Things You Need To Know is the real McCoy, a comprehensive guide to Caledonia and its remarkable people.

Scotland Reviews

'Entertaining and scholarly - he writes like a Scottish Bill Bryson' The Courier 'A small, cheerful book... A valiant attempt to navigate the more trivial contours of enlightenment and clearances, crown and parliament, dirt and deity... In a different league to the Scottish novelty titles that get stocked next to the bookstore tills' Sunday Times
