Fresche Fragrant Claretis: A History of Wine and Scotland by Billy Kay

Billy Kay’s pamphlet – titled after William Dunbar’s poetic tribute – celebrates Scotland’s and Scots’ engagement with wine and especially, in light of the Auld Alliance, claret. Billy looks at the key role Scots have had in developing the nature of and trade in wine throughout France, Spain and Portugal and further afield. The pamphlet draws on Billy’s extensive research into the subject and his travels and broadcasts worldwide on the topic.
