  The search for the soul of a nation is always a personal journey. In Scotching the Myths Jim Hewitson presents an inimitable collection of essays, an offbeat register of dates and a collection of intriguing anecdotes based on his long-running and popular 'Bicycle Accident' column in The Herald. Light-hearted yet informative and unashamedly Scottish in its standpoint, Scotching the Myths sets out in an accessible and entertaining manner to explore the byways of Scottish history, to answer a thousand questions you never even thought to ask. All in all, this is a previously unavailable reservoir of information for teachers, tourists, students, public speakers, history buffs, or anyone who is simply keen to know more about Scotland and its unique personality.
