»The whole of Scotland has only five million inhabitants; that’s around half as many as in greater London. But what energy, what charisma this small nation on the edge of Europe has! Rarely have I had such a sense of well-being as when I was travelling round Scotland«, Peter Sager writes.
Scotland: it is the lonely Highlands and the five hundred islands of the Hebrides; it is the buzz of Edinburgh life, the first ever »World City of Literature«; and it is of course Glasgow, a place it’s hard not to sing the praises of, as perceived wisdom goes.
Scotland: it is also the country of wild rhododendrons that scale the hillsides, take valleys and meadows by storm and turn mountains into giant cushions of blue or pink from a distance.

Peter Sager’s SCHOTTLAND takes the reader on an entertaining path into a different world and delights us with a infinite variety of stories from this country rich in legend.
