From the writers of Oor Wullie, comes a musical history lesson that no-one asked for but everyone needs!

SCOTS is the musical history lesson no-one asked for but everyone needs! A multi-skilled cast retell some of our nation's most iconic (and some forgotten) stories, in this hilarious high-speed journey through the history of Scotland, to answer the fundamental question; What Makes a Country?

SCOTS is the story of Scotland. Its past, present and future. Its people and places, triumphs and failures. All told by a figure who has seen it all… someone who witnessed the Picts and the Celts unite; who survived the battles of Stirling and Bannockburn; who heard the declaration of Arbroath; who witnessed Scottish Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the charge for women’s rights, the battle for gay rights, the call for Independence – basically, someone who’s seen some amount of ****!

Following ecstatic reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe, this 'truly incredible' (Broadway World) show has been upscaled and will tour main stages across Scotland.
