In The Scottish World, renowned broadcaster Billy Kay takes us on a global journey of discovery, highlighting the extraordinary influence the Scots have had on communities and cultures on almost every continent. While others have questioned the self-confidence of the Scots, Kay has travelled the world from Bangkok to Brazil, Warsaw to Waikiki, and found ringing endorsements for the integrity and intellect, the poetry and passion of the Scottish people in every country he has visited. He expands people's view of Scotland by relating remarkable stories of the wealthy Scottish merchant community in Gdansk, of inspirational missionaries in Calabar and Budapest, and of Scots' amazing involvement in liberation movements in Malawi, Chile, Peru, Greece, Corsica, and India. The Scottish World is a celebration of the enormous contribution the Scots have made to the modern world.
