Tales of a Grandson

Synopsis:
Where do you begin to tell the story of Scotland?. . .with the myths, the legends and the battles? Or perhaps simply with the universal story of boy meets girl? Tales of a Grandson is one man's re-telling of Scotland's history - but this is no straight and dusty history lesson: To tell this epic tale Andy Cannon (previously of Wee Stories) takes us on a time travelling adventure with his grandparents through Scotland's past to piece together the myriad of Kings, Queens, friends and foes that make up our nation's story (and unearths just why our mountains are so small on the way!).

Notes:
Accompanying Andy and adding to the Tales are composer and musician Wendy Weatherby, Barrowland Ballet, a local cast of dancers, a choir of grannies and some of Scotlands finest young musicians.
