Following reckless experiences in the icy lochs and snow-clad hills of Argyllshire, awkward young geologist Ewan MacLeod seeks to graduate from being a Looney Scot to a professional geologist and international businessman. Taking nothing for granite, his journey leaves no stone unturned as he unearths the mysteries of Ancient Scottish Culture, and is told with sharp wit, jocularity, and great Scottish humour.'Adventures Of A Looney Scot is a humorous mix of biography, fiction and Scottish history. [...] It is a book of large and passionate claims. [...] In every instance, the unapologetic tone and continuous wordplay leave no room for dullness. It is both charmingly rugged and ruggedly charming.' - Independent book Review'What gives the book its real personality is the voice. McFeat-Smith writes in a way that’s unruly, funny, self-mocking, and deeply attached to Scottish speech and rhythm.' -Literary Titan (Gold Book Award) 5 Star Review'Readers who enjoy life stories filled with adventure, personal growth and cultural perspectives will find this book especially appealing. [...] The memoir is masterfully written, and intellectually stimulating.' -Readers’ Favourite 5 Star Premium Review'This amusing, inspiring account of an impassioned Scottish life, the first of three, offers an entertaining tour through the life, ideals, and ’strange and exotic adventures’ of a geologist and self-proclaimed ’Looney Scot.’' - BookLife Reviews'An era hopping, pun popping journey through the bedrock of our modern existence via Scotland’s important historical and geographical peculiarities. The author starts off as a wee salty underdog but emerges as an educated, thoughtful voice for the way forward.' - Anthony C Murphy, author of And Other Days of Nothing Much and The House of Murph'Flying Scot bikes, camping, hiking to youth hostels, kaya-king, long holidays on Loch Lomond. The author’s stories explores the beauty of outdoors Scotland. Quixote-like, he escapes from serious injury and even death. And displays a brain powered by curiosity.' - Katherine Elberfeld, author of An Umbrella Made for a Man'Readable, interesting and humorous-this book has all the essentials of a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining book. Highly recommended.' - David W. Gee, author of Travels and Adventures: True Life Journey to Distant Lands
