Imagine Papa Smurf had a son who developed a steroid problem and spent a few years in prison who then went on to impregnate Scotland and refuse to pay alimony. These buggers will fight anyone and anything regardless of the size.
These guys are blue creatures with bushy red hair, kilts and an affinity for drinking and fighting.

The Nac Mac Feegle are fairy folk but not the kind that have wands and wings.

His next books written for younger readers were Truckers, Diggers and Wings which again all involved tiny human-like creatures, so I suppose it was no surprise that Pratchett’s first kids book set in the Discworld series involved little people, namely the Nac Mac Feegle – The Wee Free Men. Surprisingly, it is about tiny people who live in our carpets. When I was eight years old, I was given a copy of The Carpet People by Pratchett and it quickly became one of my favourite books. However, none of these things are my favourite Scottish influence in the media though, that prize goes to The Wee Free Men… The Wee Free Men
You see, you do know Scottish fantasy and you love it right? Me too.

Finally, what is your favourite movie all time if you take in to account story, acting and special effects…? Think of your favourite Bond, timelord or hobbit and chances are you’ll think of Sean Connery, David Tennant and Billy Boyd (Pippin) – all Scottish.
Without Moira Mctaggert and her home on the fictional Muir Island, Professor X would still be swooning over Magneto. How about Mrs Doubtfire? Is that a Scottish accent I hear? Oh yes!īart and Harry’s hijinx wouldn’t have been half as fun without the threat of Groundskeeper Willie or McGonnagal catching them. For example, you must know Shrek or Scrooge McDuck – both Scottish accents. If you think of famous Scots in fantasy media you probably can’t think of many people or characters at first but you know loads, I promise. In regards to fantasy though, Scotland is a phenomenal nation although you might not realise it. They are ‘ard b*stards, so I advise everyone that on the day the zombies attack, the apes start talking and the saucers come down, forget bunkers and the military and get yourself behind a Scot with a frying pan. Side Note: In event of Armageddon: I am yet to find a Scot who wears anything other than a vest and shorts during the winter. And what is especially odd for such a windy nation, is that it is traditional for men not to wear undies beneath a kilt as anyone who has seen Braveheart will confirm. It’s not all good things though, as unfortunately the Scots also gave us kilts. Other great things the Scottish have given the world is haggis – a sausage-like meal consisting of sheep insides boiled within the poor sheep’s intestines – and they have also given us your dad’s favourite song to dance to at a wedding, that old-school disco classic “500 Miles” by The Proclaimers. Scots are responsible for giving us the telephone, the television, the steam engine, tarmac road surfacing and also the bicycle. For those of you not familiar with Irn-Bru, it is nuclear orange in colour and has a bizarre but pleasant taste – worth a try if ever you get the chance. It is the only nation in Europe that the Romans couldn’t conquer and is the only country in the entire world that Coco-Cola is not the best selling soft drink, with the Scots instead opting for the wonderfully odd Irn-Bru. Last time we had Italy, the land of pizza and Pinocchio and today we have the small but mighty Scotland.įor such a small nation, Scotland has had an enormous impact on the world. Welcome back to the Fantasy-Faction World Tour Of Wonderment, where I aim to shine the spotlight on individual nations and their contributions to the fantasy world.
