A Brief History of Scotchland In One Part

I'm researching wondering whether I should be arsed about writing a series about the great history of oor nation. The noo. It'll be great. Here's a taster.

Some dates for your diary:

  • 4004BC Scotchland created. And some other stuff.

  • 4000BC Angus McAdam: the first Scotchman born. Jings!
    Scotchman

  • 1296 King Edward's potatoes vs. scones : which is the better source of carbs?

  • 1300 Natural History: The life cycle of the haggis - from Scotch Egg to your dinner plate.
    Haggis

  • 1314 Bannockburn: cookery show. How to cook bannocks without burning them.

  • 1500 Tartan porridge: The recipe revealed.

  • 1715 The Old Pretender: Merkan/Aussie Mel Gibson pretends to be Scotch. Badly. Ye cannae take oor freedom, but ye can certainly murrrder oor language. Crivvens!

  • 1745 The Young Pretender: Weegie John Barrowman pretends to be a Merkan. Rather more convincingly.

  • 1755 The Big Fight: Bony[sic] Prince Charlie vs the Loch Ness Monster - who is the better Scotch? There's only one way to find out!Nessie

  • 1820 Doctor Who: David "Ten-Inch" McDonald gets out his sonic screwdriver. Help ma boab!

  • 1905 I'd Do Anything:
    Ashley
    Mmmmiss Ashley Russell.

  • 2222 Star Trek: Scotty "Scotty" Scott born in Linlithgow. Beam me up, FFS!Scotty


Anyone interested in a series? Any Scotch people interested in contributing material? I might start a new blog. Hmmmm.
