Download or read book Sports and Pastimes of Scotland written by Robert Scott Fittis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sports and Pastimes of Scotland: Historically Illustrated The compilation has been the pleasing labour of years. Portions have previously appeared in print here and there; but these have been much amplified with new matter; and, so far as I am aware, the book, as it now stands, is the only one dealing with the generality of Scottish Sports on the same lines. I trust it will be found both interesting and useful, as illustrative of varied phases of the habits, manners, and customs of byegone generations of Scotsmen of all ranks and classes.

Download or read book The Beautiful Games Scotland s Hidden Sports written by Henry Hepburn and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-07-13 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beautiful Games: Scotland's Hidden Sports is an immersion into little-seen worlds. Scotland is obsessed with football. Other sports live in its shadow, misunderstood or unheard of by all but a few, their compelling stories and characters ignored or disparaged. Henry Hepburn's growing disillusion with his one-sport country has driven him to explore what else is out there. Who are the diehards keeping their sport alive, the star players who fail to make the back pages? How perilous is their sport's future in Scotland? And, in a country where their efforts go unheralded, why bother at all? The Beautiful Games illuminates a sporting nation waiting to be discovered.
