Part history part guide book you could pack this with you on a trip to Scotland and you'd find plenty to do anywhere you stopped. Nest time I'm across this book will be in my suitcase as he goes into great detail about some of the lesser know historical sights to be seen and that aren't necessarily marked. David R. Ross was a Scottish nationalist so that thread does run through his books as he strongly feels that Scotland should be governed from Edinburgh and not Westminster. When he died suddenly Scotland lost a great writer and champion. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
David R. Ross not only shows us his Scotland but he teaches us it too. You feel as though you are on the back of his motorcycle listening to the stories of his land as you fly with him up and down the smaller roads, the 'desire lines', of Scotland. Ross takes us off the beaten track and away from the main routes chosen for us by modern road builders. He starts our journey in England and criss-crosses the border telling the bloody tales of the towns and villages. His recounting of Scottish history, its myths and its legends is unapologetically and unashamedly pro-Scots. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
