Synopsis

Born in Manchester in 1918, Eric Green is taken to live in Glasgow. His father and mother have a dedicated English future planned for their son. Eric's compatriots have very different ideas. Taken to school in 1923, he is forbidden - because of his father's atheism - to take any part in worship. He stands - whilst prayers and scripture are taught - in the cold outer corridor of his school.

No child, at that time, was allowed to play on Sundays. Eric becomes an outcast. Neither is he allowed a Sunday kilt - ('remember, son, that you are English!'). Even worse, Eric is forbidden to talk the Scottish tongue. He inwardly fights against these restrictions - becoming a dedicated Glaswegian kiddie.

During this saga, he is taken on many controversial trips, where situations present themselves into either "do I defy parents - or not?"

Although the family returns permanently to England in 1930, Eric feels remote. He can't get the 'feel' of Englishness, and pines for Scotland.

Many years later, at the age of 46, he is invited to church for the first time. A Scottish market trader offers him a kilt. Is this the solution of his childhood dream?

Or is his 'unknown' God about to work some great miracle?
