A celebration of Scottish achievement in a global context.
Thaim wi a guid Scots tongue in their heid are fit tae gang ower the warld.
Renowned broadcaster Billy Kay takes us on a global journey of discovery, highlighting the extraordinary influence the Scots have had on communities and cultures on almost every continent. Kay has travelled the world from Bangkok to Brazil, Warsaw to Waikiki, and found ringing endorsements for the integrity and intellect, the poetry and passion of the Scottish people in every country he has visited.
He expands people’s view of Scotland by relating remarkable stories of the wealthy Scottish merchant community in Gdansk; of national geniuses of Scots descent such as Lermontov in Russia and Grieg in Norway; of an American Civil War blamed on Sir Walter Scott and initiated in the St. Andrews Society of Charleston; of inspirational missionaries in Calabar and Budapest; of Scottish Professors establishing football in soccer strongholds like Barcelona and São Paulo; and of their amazing involvement in liberation movements in Malawi, Chile, Peru, Greece, Corsica and India.
The Scottish World is a celebration of the enormous contribution the Scots have made to the modern world.
