A colorful history of Scotland from award-winning writer Alistair Moffat, SCOTLAND’S FORGOTTEN PAST highlights thirty-six fascinating episodes that have long been forgotten or misunderstood. Now published in paperback for the first time, this entertaining book shines a light on these events, people, and places to reveal the richness and complexity of this nation on the northwest edge of Europe.

Moffat takes readers from the geological formation of the land that makes up Scotland to the first evidence of human habitation and right up to modern times. Among many other fascinating tales, the book recounts: the story of a cave of headless children; the origins of the Scottish kings and the unsung heroes of Scottish independence; the invention of tartan and the romance of the Highlands; Scotland’s answer to Shakespeare; and the many US presidents with Scottish heritage. Throughout, attractive woodcut-style illustrations by Joe McLaren’s bring these stories to life.

Summer travel season is here; fall is on its way— and so is the challenge of potty training on the road. The Super Potty Trainer is lightweight, compact, and easy to use anywhere: in RVs, hotel bathrooms, relatives’ homes, or even roadside rest stops.

Unlike bulky potty seats, it requires no setup and fits right under the toilet seat to provide instant back support and stability. For parents juggling toddlers and travel plans, it’s a space-saving sanity-saver. The Super Potty Trainer allows children to sit on the big toilet with adjustable back support stability. To use, lift the toilet seat and place the Super Potty on the toilet.  It prevents your child from falling into the toilet because it makes the toilet theirt size. Priced at about $12 at Walmart, the Super Potty Trainer was a big hit on Shark Tank and made a deal with Lori Greiner and Daymond John.
