the sequel to the best-selling A Celtic Childhood. With his dazzling debut memoir, A Celtic Childhood, Bill Watkins confirmed his position as a writer who 'possesses the skill of an Irish bard: He can mix poetry, song, story, and history together to make a pleasing tale' (Missoula Independent). this book became a favourite handsell for US booksellers, and eventually broke into the Book Sense Bestseller List (Bookselling this Week, November 1999). Now Watkins continues to delight readers, mingling the myths and traditions of Celtic nations with true and tall tales of his high-seas adventures and explorations of the Scottish Highlands in Scotland is Not for the Squeamish. Here the magic of a young man's years of soul-searching exploration are animated in crackling detail. Whether being shanghaied on a trawler to the Arctic Circle, sinking a docked warship, shooting the breeze with ghosts in a pub, bedazzling friends with Druid magic or hunting for gold in the mountains, Watkins keeps readers on their toes as he dances us through his days and nights as a young man raring to take on the world. From the 'Silver City' of Aberdeen to 'mystic mistress' Edinburgh to the eerie banks of Loch Ness, Watkins tackles his rugged environs with humour and smarts on this ultimate journey of maturation and self-discovery.
