A celebration of the life and adventures of Andy Jackson, Scottish kayaking legend.
In December 2004 the kayaking community was stunned by the premature death of Andy Jackson.
Tall Stories collates accounts and photos of the tall man's adventurous life. As we follow him around the world, Andy's gregarious good humour comes across at every turn.
