An ancient Scots law says that the head of any dead whale found
on the Scottish coast automatically becomes the property of the
king, and the tail the property of the queen. The Scots excel at
elephant polo, a game usually played in the East. The modern game
was co-founded in the 1980s in Scotland, and the Scots are top of
the leader board! This book contains hundreds of "strange but
true" facts and anecdotes about Scottish history. Arranged into a
miniature history of Scotland, and with bizarre and hilarious
true tales for every era, it will delight anyone with an interest
in Scottish history.
