Hugh McMillan's first collection in Scots, Whit if? poses the questions that you never thought to ask about Scottish history like 'Whit if Alexander haed Twitter?', 'Whit if John Knox haed fawen in luve wi Mary Queen o Scots?' and 'Whit if Jacques Brel haed jynt the Corries?'
As both poet and long-time student of Scotland's strange and undervalued history, McMillan is the ideal guide to all the micht-hiv-bins of Scottish history, as well as all that wis. Humour is guaranteed, but that doesn't mean he won't be digging up many an educational gem along the way!
