Bizarre Scotland (Little, Brown Book Group)

From the world's oldest indoor loo to a theatre where spectators fill their pockets with poo, the definitive guide to the stranger side of Scotland shows there's a lot more to the place than tartan, haggis and tossing the caber. Inside you'll find: the world's longest man-made echo; a city where aliens are welcome; what the Royals really think of it Britain's weirdest wig; the worst Scottish accents ever; our tallest hedge and oldest tree; Loch monsters nastier than Nessie; a road you can roll up; Scots in Space; Whether it's Ruthven or Ruthven?; Britain's loneliest bus stop (and its loveliest); a school for spies; the cost of burning witches; an aeroplane made from seaweed...and why the Queen needs rubber gloves. Praise for Bizarre London: "In a market niche that's now as crowded as the 18:22 to Reading, Bizarre London pummels its bantamweight rivals with knockout clouts of trivia that even this weary correspondent hadn't encountered before". (The Londonist).
