Nowadays it can be hard to imagine what life was like with no mobile phones. Looking back we can only wonder how much easier life might have been if people could just send each other a quick text. But what would history’s most famous Scots have been texting about?
Would Robert Burns have been sending love poems to his lady friends? Would David Livingstone have been lost in the jungle for so long if he had Google maps? Or William Wallace may well have rallied the troops over instant messaging?
This witty little book, part of the Hilarious History series, sets out to discover exactly what these Scots, and many more, might have been saying on their adventures.
It’s an interesting and entertaining take on Scottish history in today’s modern era, and a perfect Christmas stocking filler.
