Scotland has always given generously of her people to the world. This book tells the story of some of the many hundreds of thousands of Scots who have contributed to the fabric of modern world.

In here are explorers and entrepreneurs, settlers and soldiers, politicians and missionaries, traders and police officers.

They are a diverse lot with only two things in common: they made their home in a foreign land, and they hailed from Scotland. The world is all the richer for the part they played.

Before I get into the book let me just say the narrator George Ellington did such a great job. He always seems to have the right tone for the book he is reading. Now onto the book from Andrew corner gate to John Paul Jones and more I was so surprised at all the names I knew, but not the stories about these Scottish men. I found this book to be very interesting and although it is full of Bios of these men I didn’t find it boring at all. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it into settings. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes biographies, great achievers, history in general or the Scottish. This book is awesome!

I was so surprised that all the names I knew.
