So fa la land is a dramatised account of a life of poverty for an early twentieth century Scottish mining household through one daughter's eyes using flashbacks from the sixties. Before you start to read this book I would like to emphasise that all of the stories are true. I have, of course, had to invent dialogue to match the situations, but much of that is from conversations and recordings. I have filled in gaps where the descriptions of the places and people are unclear, but otherwise the stories all happened, whether it be a ruler smashing into the children's knuckles; Robbie's shoes being open to the weather; my father investigating a lost ashtray; and the extremely rare piece of steak served to my uncle. The rare aspect was nothing to do with how it was served, by the way. The Robertsons once lived at 11 Middle Street, Cuthill near Prestonpans, Scotland. My mother, a seventh child of a seventh child, was Williamina Whyte Robertson, better known as Minnie. The family were in a very poor state and comprised a mining family of eleven children. Some of the stories might make painful reading. There will also be stories about my father George Harmsworth who came from Boxmoor near Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. George Harmsworth and Minnie Robertson married on January 8th 1934, seven months before the birth of their first daughter Rose and thereby lies another tale. Please let me know about typos, grammar and spelling blunders. Family ... let me know if I have said something which you believe is not accurate. (C) 2016/7 Tony Harmsworth - All Rights Reserved.

Tony Harmsworth has been involved in presenting Scottish History to the public for nearly forty years. Exhibitions he has staged include the Great Glen Exhibition, Macbeth Experience, Loch Ness Exhibition Centre, Fort Augustus Abbey Heritage Centre, Loch Ness Diorama and others. The Fort Augustus exhibition was the largest private exhibition ever to have been staged in Scotland. In addition he has run tour businesses specialising in presenting the most interesting aspects to the history of Scotland. While doing this his tours became the first four star tour in the Highlands, the first five star tour in Scotland and the tours he was operating at his retirement had become number one on Trip Advisor for the whole of Scotland. It was suggested he take some of the stories he uses during his tours and put them into a book. THIS is that book. All the bloodiest Scottish history from the stone age through to the first Scottish Independence Referendum. This book takes you through the entire history of Scotland in chronological order so that you don't just learn about, say, Mary Queen of Scots, but also how she came to become a divisive figure and what lead up to the Jacobite uprisings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
