Scottish History Without the Boring Bits by Ian Crofton

As an antidote to more sober accounts of Scotlands history, Ian Crofon offers a colourful chronology of the eccentric, the infamous, the bawdy, the horrific and the hilarious people and events that have spattered across the pages of our nations story.

'It's light, sometimes lurid, but with a very human focus'

* History Revealed *

'This collection of anecdotes and quirky facts will delight those seeking an alternative history of our nation'

* Scots Magazine *
