"Fifty years ago , the novelist George Blake made a collection of what he considered the most interesting historical extracts and literary quotations about Scotland. An anthology of prose and verse, it includes materials such as Alexander Carlye's description of Bonny Prince Charlie's freckles, an account of Scotland's first zoo, the original stories of Macbeth and Alexander Selkirk, many pieces on eating and drinking habits, the Canadian Boat Song, Dr Johnson on Scotch broth and doggerel verse by Zachary Boyd and McGonagall."
