What makes the ideal Scotsman these days? Writer and cook Rachel McCormack explores the changing face of Scottish masculinity, as the male image changes from that of legendary 'hard man' to a softer, gentler 21st-century Scotsman.

Rachel delves into the historical self-image of the typical Scotsman, and calls as witnesses a varied tribe, including historian Alison Cathcart, actors Sanjeev Kohli and Iain Robertson, writers Gerry Hassan, Chris McQueer and James Robertson, and others from the world of dance, music and industry. She pulls together the case for the modern Scotsman, typified by tennis hero Andy Murray, in an entertaining discourse that cites key moments in Scottish culture.
