This book is a story about people like you. The lapsing of time elevates the importance of stories and those individuals responsible and so what follows is a sample of the more notable and memorable. You are going to be taken back in time a little, my time but if you are looking for deep and meaningful, you'll be disappointed. However, if you want to know more about the tribe of people known to the rest of the world as the Scots and you fancy being amused, bewildered, enthralled, bothered, confused, emotionally challenged and provoked or even slightly pissed off, then read on. There are of course no guarantees nor do I think literary acclaim awaits, quite simply this book was written for my pleasure and your entertainment - enjoy.
