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

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 s**t - Scotland’s greatest invention ... The Toilet!

In this irreverent, hilarious and poignant musical, a multi-skilled ensemble retell some of our nation's most iconic (and some forgotten) stories, all to answer the
fundamental question: What makes a country? Following ecstatic five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe, this 'truly incredible' (Broadway World) show has been upscaled for main stages across Scotland in 2026.
