Scotland The World Over

We should not let St Andrew's Day pass without a quotation from A Book of Scotlands by Momus, a sequence of 156 numbered possible Scotlands ranging from pithy one-liners ('The Scotland in which the monarch is Aslan and the glen is Narnia') to short (and often fantastical and breath-taking) fictions that fashion elaborate alternate histories.

In one of them - number 103 to be exact - he has a famous performance artist wonder if, since you can now store it on a computer, you don't really need an actual Scotland. You can carry it with you, and take it wherever you go.
