Whit if Alexander 111 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 reading/ramble/discussion based on Whit If: Scottish History as it micht hae been, poems in Scots with illustrations by Bob Dewar. The unlikely, the impossible and the downright absurd come to life.
A confused knowledge of Scottish history is essential before coming in. And on leaving.
