Resumen del Editor

All roads lead back home.

Billy Connolly may be a citizen of the world, but in his heart he's never been far from his homeland. Made in Scotland is Billy's unique and intimate portrait of his native Scotland, a love letter to the places and people that made him.

It's an adventure inspired by a single incident: the moment Billy received his Knighthood and was asked, 'How does it feel to have achieved all this when you came from nothing?' His response was, 'But I did come from something!' So begins an odyssey through the Highlands, the Lowlands and the Barrowlands on a shaggy dog quest to find out what that 'something' was and whether it is still there.

Far from a typical travelogue, Billy’s quest is as much through his memories and experiences as it is through his excursions, with a series of key artefacts prompting reminiscences - a first pressing of a Hank Williams album (the first record he ever owned), Landseer’s Monarch of the Glen, a bottle of air that re-creates the smell of the old Glasgow Docks - each of which inspire moments of reflection, joy, drama and laughter.

Accompanying a major BBC TV series, Made in Scotland is Billy Connolly's insightful, moving and very funny account of the stuff that really matters. Family, love, sex, health, football, fishing, work, art, swearing, banjos, friends, going to the pub. And good tea.

Great memories from a great man

Great stories from a very humble and entertaining man. With a great backdrop, and history of Scotland, and the people who reside there

Brilliant, honest, touching, funny

loved every minute!

A great telling of Billy's story. The narrator was chosen wisely and was reminiscent of Billy.

Always great to get an insight on Billy's life.

Great insight on Billy's life as a kid and growing old. The narrator was good and took on the part of Billy quite well. It's well worth a listen. 👍

Loved it!

A very touching, earthy and upbeat memoir. Great view of aging and honoring memories. Connolly's story-telling is superb; the genius of making the listener laugh and cry and sigh and laugh again! I only wish it was longer.

Wonderful!!

I thoroughly loved this book! It made me laugh and so much. It’s sweet and even a bit bittersweet in places. Such a lovely thing for Billy I to do, to share his life with us in such an intimate way.
As for the narrator, Wow! He was wonderful! There were many times that I forgot that it wasn’t actually Billy Connolly speaking. His timing and cadence were wonderful. I have another of Billy’s books and its narration is just awful. It sounds like an Englishman trying to force a Scots accent.

Can’t help but love anything Billy

Interesting insights into Billy’s earlier years voiced by a Scottish voice over artist. But nothing much about his relationship with Pam. That said, enjoyable and endearing.

Too much fun!!

Billy's biography is a lot like the opening line from Dicken's Tale of Two Cities...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times...indeed! But worst or best, happy or sad, this comic icon nailed it and I could listen to this book again and again....and again. Carry on, Billy :)
