Scotching the Myths by Jim Hewitson
The search for the soul of a nation is always a personal journey. In Scotching the Myths Jim Hewitson presents an inimitable collection of essays, an offbeat register of dates and a collection of intriguing anecdotes based on his long-running and popular 'Bicycle Accident' column in The Herald. Light-hearted yet informative and unashamedly Scottish in its standpoint, Scotching the Myths sets out in an accessible and entertaining manner to explore the byways of Scottish history, to answer a thousand questions you never even thought to ask. All in all, this is a previously unavailable reservoir of information for teachers, tourists, students, public speakers, history buffs, or anyone who is simply keen to know more about Scotland and its unique personality.
Jim Hewitson, freelance writer and frontiersman, was brought up among the sandstone canyons of Clydebank but has lived on Papa Westray, Orkney, with his family and assorted animals for the past seven years. A columnist for journals as diverse as The Washington Post, The Scottish Banner (New York) and The Herald, his last book, Tom Blake and Co, which examines the impact of the Scots in America, has proved popular on both sides of the Atlantic.
