Astonishing Scotland!
A Cheeky Thesaurus of Scottishness

Rank villains, cludgie humor, mankie women, famous gubbings, men in skirts, sadists, balloons and assorted bampots, sex, drugs and illicit lute playing... They’re all in Jim Hewitson’s latest foray along the scarred underbelly of Scottish history. Astonishing Scotland! is a cheeky thesaurus of Scottishness, an A-Z of Caledonian myth and mischief, a glimpse at the DNA of nationality. And on this individualistic journey, you’ll find a multitude of offbeat anecdotes from the history of Scotland. Trawling the sometimes murky, often illuminating but always fascinating backwaters of Scotland’s story, you’ll encounter the bizarre, the memorable, even the downright rude. So if you thought that Scottish history was as heavy as a pot of porridge, then prepare to be ASTONISHED! 6 1/4" x 9 1/4",• 160 pages; paperback **warning-some crude humor
