Did you know that Nessie is not the only monster supposedly living in a Scottish loch? Loch Morar has its own: Morag. Did you know that the first Open golf Championship was played in Scotland, at Prestwick in 1860? Did you know that as well as television, insulin, chloroform, and the telephone, Scotland has given the world kaleidoscopes, contour lines, tinned salmon, and Andy Murray? This miscellany of all things Scottish will have you quoting Burns, reeling off famous battles, and fizzing with fascinating trivia in no time. As well as getting the low-down on the who, what, when, and where of Scottish history—including profiles of William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, and Bonnie Prince Charlie—you'll gain plenty of insight into the food, drink, landscape, culture, and everything else that makes Scotland exceptional.
