Description

From the world's oldest indoor loo to a theatre where spectators fill their pockets with poo, the definitive guide to the stranger side of Scotland shows there's a lot more to the place than tartan, haggis and tossing the caber. Inside you'll find:

The world's longest man-made echo

A city where aliens are welcome

What the Royals really think of it

Britain's weirdest wig

The worst Scottish accents ever

Our tallest hedge and oldest tree

Loch monsters nastier than Nessie

A road you can roll up

Scots in Space

Whether it's Ruthven or Ruthven

Britain's loneliest bus stop (and its loveliest)

A school for spies

The cost of burning witches

An aeroplane made from seaweed

. . . and why the Queen needs rubber gloves
