This is the story of a remarkable man - linguist, piper, Highland dancer, soldier (who took part in the British Army's first clashes with the German Army in both the First and Second Wars), prisoner-of-war, saviour of the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk, Civil Affairs Officer who helped rebuild shattered communities and self-confidence in France and Germany, Director of Physical Education at Edinburgh, one of Scotland's great universities, and Manager of the Scottish Team at the Empire and Commonwealth Games. Truly a remarkable man
