This volume celebrates the theatre in all its manifestations in Scotland. Each section covers a different period of theatre history, covering the minstrels and strolling players of the 15th and 16th centuries, the fashionable theatre of Walter Scott's day, through to 20th-century theatre.

A history of Scottish theatre

Bill Findlay

Ancestor hunting has been very much a growth industry, by no means confined to Scotland. Yet its scale has been exceptional there, probably because of the huge amount of emigration that began in the 17th century and reached its peak after World War II. It has been estimated that worldwide there could be as many as 20 million people of Scottish extraction. Clearly laid out, this guide offers detailed yet straightforward instructions on completing research of your family history, using all the resources available and explains the complexities of the available records and sources. In addition to detailed descriptions of the sources, the book also includes facsimile illustrations of the kinds of documents the ancestor hunter is likely to encounter and contact details for useful organizations. Details on heraldry, tartans, surnames and information on how to draw up a family tree are also included. It also includes a step-by-step case study, which serves as a model for research.

Feng shui detective C. F. Wong is not a fan of western culture, so it seems as if his worst nightmare has come true when he gets an assignment to deal with Brits in Hong Kong. They ask him to fly with them to London, where the Queen wants Buckingham Palace feng shuied to rid the Royal family of its long run of bad luck. But with over 600 rooms in the palace - including 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms - is this an assignment too far or a deliberate distraction?

A murder in the Philippines, a kidnapping in Thailand, grand theft auro in Singapore; it's just another day at the office for CF Wong and his slacker assistant Joyce. More feng shui master than detective, Wong would much rather get paid, go home and put his feet up, but that's just not going to happen.

The Feng Shui Detective's Casebook

The book of the series will be written by the presenter, and while it will follow the format of the television series, it will deal with the issues at a greater depth; it will include textual extracts and also be illustrated. The book will also feature the work of photographer, Murdo Macleod, who has photographed most of the featured living writers. The eight half-hour documentaries stem from a core belief that Scotland's unique and distinctive writing tradition has continually defined the nation, established its identity and was the springboard upon which devolution was built. And now at the start of the twenty-first century, Scottish writers enjoy unprecedented international acclaim and have helped define Scotland's place in the modern world. Hopscotch are delighted with the series which aims to bring a popular approach to ideas television: As producer John Archer put it, 'I believe that what works best on television is passion, and it is through the passion of the presenter and interviewees that we intend to draw in the general viewer.'
