"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.
