À propos de cet audio

All roads lead back home.

Billy Connolly may be a citizen of the world, but in his heart he's never been far from his homeland. Made in Scotland is Billy's unique and intimate portrait of his native Scotland, a love letter to the places and people that made him.

It's an adventure inspired by a single incident: the moment Billy received his Knighthood and was asked, 'How does it feel to have achieved all this when you came from nothing?' His response was, 'But I did come from something!' So begins an odyssey through the Highlands, the Lowlands and the Barrowlands on a shaggy dog quest to find out what that 'something' was and whether it is still there.

Far from a typical travelogue, Billy’s quest is as much through his memories and experiences as it is through his excursions, with a series of key artefacts prompting reminiscences - a first pressing of a Hank Williams album (the first record he ever owned), Landseer’s Monarch of the Glen, a bottle of air that re-creates the smell of the old Glasgow Docks - each of which inspire moments of reflection, joy, drama and laughter.

Accompanying a major BBC TV series, Made in Scotland is Billy Connolly's insightful, moving and very funny account of the stuff that really matters. Family, love, sex, health, football, fishing, work, art, swearing, banjos, friends, going to the pub. And good tea.

Greatly enjoyed it! Gordon Kennedy has a voice that makes you able to listen with ease and not get distracted. Reading about Connolly's life was do interesting and at times a little heartbreaking, mixed in with comedy.

Sad it's finished now

At first I was disappointed it wasn’t being read by Billy but after a while it didn’t really matter the book is a great listen and I think Billy’s views on love and being Scottish are wonderful
Even in the depths of Parkinson’s he loves live and can laugh about it

Love this guy

Great story but found the narrator terribly boring to listen to, so boring that I never managed to finish the book.

Great story, but that’s it

Disappointed that Bilky did not read...but... by Chapter 4 he lost me. Narrator should have come up with second voice. A ten minute conversation saying John Me John Me sooooo annoying.

OMG boring
