How do we know that the Earth is round? How do we know that the Earth moves round the Sun? How do we know that our sun is only one of over a hundred billion stars in our galaxy and that the Milky Way is only one of over a hundred billion galaxies in the Universe? How do we know there are more stars in the known Universe than there are grains of sand on all of the beaches on the planet Earth?

How do we know all this is true? Where is the evidence?

The truth is out there, it always was, we just couldn’t see it. Then one day, one man took one giant leap and the rest, as they say, is history - when the world began to move there was no turning back.

The vain and tyrannical Laird of Kiltie has one true love, his kilts. In the lead up to the most important day in the Kiltie calendar, his birthday, the Laird wants for one thing, a new kilt "the likes of which has never been seen".

Enter Mr. Harris and Mr. Tweed, two dodgy weavers who give this gullible customer exactly what he asks for.

Han Christian Anderson’s famous children’s fable has been wittily re-imagined as a family musical comedy, told with Wee Stories' trademark style of storytelling, interwoven with Scottish music hall, pantomime and ceilidh.
