Description
Behind the roster of kings and queens, saints and warriors, Scotland’s history overflows with stories of lesser-known places, people and events. This charming, lively and often amusing tour of 36 forgotten episodes reveals the richness and complexity we usually miss in the official account. Learn about the cave of headless children, the origins of Scottish kings, the real heroes of Scottish independence, the invention of tartan and the romance of the Highlands, Scotland’s answer to Shakespeare, the many U.S. Presidents with Scottish heritage - and much more.
