Did you know, for example, that the kilt was actually banned in Scotland at one point, and that particular tartans were never originally identified with specific clans, let alone surnames? From bagpipes, haggis, whisky and the Forth Rail Bridge to Andy Murray, Mary, Queen of Scots and Irn Bru, this book is a fascinating celebration of Scotland that will appeal to visitors and locals alike.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
