The folks at STV in Scotland must have Muir on the mind this fall – just as we did during Ken Burns’s The National Parks series – because they nominated Muir for the title of "Greatest Scot." That’s pretty good for a guy who left the country when he was 11.
There’s going to be a whole series of shows about great Scots, with the episode about Muir airing on Friday, Nov. 13. You’ll be able to watch the show online after it airs on TV.--Kyle Boelte




I don't think if John Muir was alive and you asked him that he would think of himself as anything but a Scottish man . Regardless of when he left Scotland or how old he was.
