Details

A summer's night in Edinburgh and a rumour sweeps the city that Sean Connery is staying in the Caledonian Hotel. An MEP, distrusted by the voters, with an Olympic vision for Edinburgh, desperately tries to find Sean's number. He's got a proposition, but will it be of interest?.. Eppie remembers Sean from when he used to lie in the sunshine by Portobello pool Does he still dream of her the way she dreams of him? The doorman at the Caledonian knows all the stars. He knows Rod Stewart, he knows Cleo Laine. But who hears his singing in the small hours of the night?..Lauren's had a call from the Caley. Someone wealthy is looking for a favour. Will she fun off with her First Knight or will it just be business as usual?.. A young boy has Sean as his guru and he'll follow him from Oxgangs to Monte Carlo. He's even got a dinner suit. But why does the limo with the tinted windows drive right by?..Everyone needs someone to believe in. Everyone needs somebody to show them the way. Caledonia Dreaming presents a people, a city and a nation searching for a way forward. Independence, devolution, union..or just a milkman from Fountainbridge?
