    Daunderlust: Dispatches from Unreported Scotland

    Written by Peter Ross

    Narrated by Robbie Coltrane

    About this audiobook

    Peter Ross's articles from around Scotland provide a piece-by-piece portrait of a nation as it changes. They show Scotland as she really is, a hopeful country not without problems and pain, but a nation made great by the people who live, love, laugh and graft there. From anatomists who find dissection beautiful to chip-shop owners who sing arias while serving fish suppers, the Scots in these pages come over as eccentric, humorous, moving and extraordinary.
