EDINBURGH, Scotland, July 6 (UPI) -- Actor Sean Connery, best known for his work as James Bond, is writing a book that mingles Scottish history with autobiographical anecdotes.
Canongate Books of Edinburgh said the book, "Connery's Scotland," would be published in September 2007. It will coincide with the 300th anniversary of the political union of Scotland and England, the New York Times reported Thursday.
Connery, 75, who was born in Edinburgh and now lives in the Bahamas, has said he would not live in Scotland again until it became independent.
He will collaborate with Murray Grigor, a writer/film maker, on the book.
"Our goal is to produce a very readable, visually stimulating and hopefully intriguing history of Scotland, with personal discoveries," Connery said.
