Touching the Heights: Portraits of Scottish Sporting Greats

Touching the Heights gives us a look into the thirteen Scottish sportspeople who have inspired Archie Macpherson in his fifty years of broadcasting. He invites the reader to join him around a fantasy dinner table as he explores what makes all of these people special in their chosen sport and why he became so fixated on their careers.
