by Mark Thomson (Author)
From Robert the Bruce to Alex Ferguson, find out what happens when Scotland's most famous figures overrun the present day. Picking up from where they left off, will these vividly drawn characters right past wrongs, see how their legacy has shaped Scotland's future, or just go and have a good time? This new collection of poetry from acclaimed Scots writer Mark Thomson looks at the effect our famous ancestors have had on us, and what they would think of Scotland today.

Together he and Robertson formed street poetry partnership Tribal Tongues. He now leads creative writing courses himself and runs national literacy organisation workshops. His students have included children from the Barnardo's organisation.
