 TAC 6: The Truth About Hamishes
It remains only to point out that had this particular Hamish been born outwith Scotland, he would have been named James Brown, would have been known the world over as The Godfather of Soul, and would have wasted several walking years festering in jail for all manner of low-life convictions.
As it is, the only festering known to Oor Hamish is the kind done in bothies, his convictions are all noble, upstanding ones, and he associates the word "gaiters" with gentle Ochil strolls rather than with the 'gators of the Georgia swamplands.
The latter's omnipresence in all of Hamish No.2's recent enterprises, along with his insistence on pompous set-pieces such as pipers atop the Cioch and his persistence in publishing out-of-focus picturebooks therefore tends to colour one's original perception of his achievements.
