Scottish history isnt just Robbie Burns and Braveheart. In Curious Scotland, journalist George Rosie unearths and illuminates some of the lesser known but most surprising details of Scotlands past, including: Why Scots always spit on a certain Edinburgh street Who was behind the militarys Operation Vegetarian Why a man named John Ross is considered the greatest Cherokee chieftain What became of the Glasgow Frankenstein With a dry wit and unflagging curiosity, Rosie shows that Scotland is full of far stranger stuff than a plate of haggis. |
