Description

Whit if Alexander III haed Twitter? Whit if John Knox haed fawen in luve wi Mary Queen o Scots? Whit if the Haggis addrest itsel? Whit if Jacques Brel haed jyned the Corries? Poet and historian Hugh McMillan ponders history as it might have been in a rambling discussion based on his book Whit If?, poems in Scots with illustrations by Bob Dewar. The unlikely, the impossible, the downright absurd come to life. A confused knowledge of Scottish history is essential before coming in. And upon leaving.
