The Beatles in Scotland

In intimate detail, this account reveals the pivotal part Scotland played in the genesis of the Beatles and the extraordinary connections that were fostered north of the border before, during, and after their meteoric rise to global fame. Following the Fab Four as rough-and-ready unknowns on their first tour of Scotland in 1960—when they were booed off stage in Bridge of Allan—and then in 1964 as all-conquering heroes, this insightful biography also shares how the momentous decision to break up the band was made in Scotland. Facts about Paul and Linda McCartney’s connection to Mull of Kintyre and Lennon’s childhood holidays in Durness are included, as are eyewitness accounts, anecdotes, and many never-before-seen photos.
