Bizarre Scotland - David Long

Descriere Bizarre Scotland - David Long

\n \nFrom 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: \n \n The world's longest man-made echo \n A city where aliens are welcome \n What the Royals really think of it \n Britain's weirdest wig \n The worst Scottish accents ever \n Our tallest hedge and oldest tree \n Loch monsters nastier than Nessie \n A road you can roll up \n Scots in Space \n Whether it's Ruthven or Ruthven? \n Britain's loneliest bus stop (and its loveliest) \n A school for spies \n The cost of burning witches \n An aeroplane made from seaweed \n . . . and why the Queen needs rubber gloves \n \nPraise for Bizarre London: \n \n'In a market niche that's now as crowded as the 18:22 to Reading, Bizarre London pummels its bantamweight rivals with knockout clouts of trivia that even this weary correspondent hadn't encountered before.' The Londonist\n
