Synopsis

Jamie's mum and grandad Dougie decided he must go to the library to learn something about Scottish history. The boy is very reluctant to go, but grandad convinces him that even professional footballers go to the library. The protagonist now expects to see Darren Fletcher in the local library in Lerwick, and decides to go in disguise, in case any of his friends see him.  The librarian finds an enormous book on Scottish history. As Jamie reads the book, the stories of St. Andrew, Robert the Bruce and Robert Burns are acted out before him. By the time the grandad returns to collect him, the boy doesn't think that Scottish history and libraries are so out after all.
