Book Synopsis
The Scots conquered the world. They just forgot to tell anyone about it. This book remedies that situation. Packed with humour and wisdom, it is at once a set of light-hearted anecdotes, an exemplary story of the Scot''s diaspora and an autobiography that shows how one man overcame the obstacles set against him. As he rambles through several continents, Bill pokes fun at his own ineptness and celebrates his hard-won successes. Colourful vignettes weave a tapestry of (mis)adventure, perseverance and fortunate coincidence. Bill is an engaging observer, somewhat innocently out of touch, voicing deeper truths. This book has serious lessons for people who may forever feel misplaced.
