  The sequel to A Celtic Childhood , Watkins continues to mingle the myths and traditions of Celtic nations with true and tall tales of his high-seas adventures and explorations of the Scottish Highlands. Whether being shanghaied on a trawler to the Arctic Circle, sinking a docked warship, shooting the breeze with ghosts in a pub, bedazzling friends with Druid magic, or hunting for gold in the mountains, Watkins keeps readers on their toes as he dances us through his days and nights as a young man raring to take on the world. From the Silver City of Aberdeen to mystic mistress Edinburgh to the eerie banks of Loch Ness, Watkins tackles his rugged environs with humour on this ultimate journey of maturation and self-discovery.
