Summary

A lighthearted and genuinely fascinating, fully illustrated guide to remarkable facts about Scotland, the "best small country in the world"

Did you know Morris dancing was just as popular in Scotland as it was in England from the 15th to the 17th century until it was banned by the Church of Scotland? Did you know 11 percent of all Nobel prizes have been awarded to Scotsmen? Did you know Scotland has the highest proportion of redheads in the world?
Take a journey with us through the weird, wonderful, and downright bizarre facts of Scottish life, culture, and heritage. With stunning full color illustrations by award-winning artist Judith Hastie, we guarantee that you will be surprised and maybe even a little shocked by what you learn.
