Explores three myths across 400 years of Scottish history: the political myth of the 'ancient constitution' of Scotland; the literary myth, including Walter Scott as well as Ossian and ancient poetry; and, the sartorial myth of tartan and the kilt, invented - ironically by Englishmen - in quite modern times.
