A Bit Scott-ish by Mike Carden
"In A Bit Scott-ish", his follow-up to "The Full English", Mike Carden rediscovers Scotland with the same wry sense of humour as his first book. "A Bit Scott-ish" is the tale of a journey through Scotland, chance encounters with locals and fellow travellers, delving into Scotland's tumultuous history, surviving storm and wind, and discovering just how hopeless it is possible to be at Nature. And at finding the way. And at quite a few other things as well. The author pedals via the Orkney Islands, the flow country of Sutherland, the Cairngorm mountains, rolling Perthshire, historic Stirling, the rocky coast of Fife, the romantic city of Edinburgh and the Borders, bringing his own descriptive style to a beautiful land.
"Mike Carden has done it againHis combination of gentle winning humour set against some of the most powerful backdrops from Scottish history is simply a great read. Come with him on his 600-plus mile journey the length of Scotland and he'll tell you why tartan was banned (before making a very fashionable comeback), where the Holy Grail might be buried and why pasties are important to cyclists - and not just as a source of energy..." Richard Peace, cycling journalist, creator of the Ultimate UK Cycle Route Planner and publisher of the Excellent Books range of cycling guide books"
