The various tales that Andy Cannon beguiles us with in this three-part foray into his own, and Scotland’s, provenance stem from halcyon days in 1974 when – with Grandpa at the wheel of a Hillman Imp – the ten-year-old Andrew had such stirring adventures in time and place that he grew up to be what he is now: one of our best, and best-loved story-tellers.

Mr. Cannon’s passion for all things historical is infectious, as he makes real the sort of magical history lesson you thought was only possible in your dreams.
