About the Book

While others have wrung their hands and despaired over the self-confidence of the Scots, Billy Kay has travelled the world from Bangkok to Brazil, Warsaw to Waikiki and found ringing endorsements for the Scottish people and their contribution in every country he has visited. As a distinguished broadcaster for BBC Radio Scotland, Kay has expanded people s view of Scotland by uncovering remarkable stories of our wealthy merchant community in Gdansk; of national geniuses of Scots descent, such as Lermontov in Russia and Grieg in Norway; of an American Civil War begun in the St Andrews Society of Charleston; of pioneering Scots establishing football in soccer strongholds like Barcelona and S o Paulo; and of our amazing direct involvement in liberation movements in Malawi, Chile, Peru, Greece, Corsica and India. As a gifted linguist, Kay was able to communicate directly with people in Russian and German, French and Portuguese. For example, the moving material he has gathered on the Scots working with the street kids of Belo Horizonte in Brazil was made possible because he could speak to the children in their own language. The Scottish World is a celbration of the great contribution
