Product Description

Product Description

This full length history of Scotland is made up of 25 chapters spanning 18 centuries, from the Picts to the 1980s and is designed for the general reader. A particular feature of the book is the attention it gives to social and cultural history, including life in towns, the changing role of the nobles, and the shifting images of Scottish identity through the ages. The landmarks of Scottish history - the Wars of Independence, the Reformation, the Union of Crowns and the Union of Parliaments, the Jacobite rebellions, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution, are all covered. The author is the editor of "The Innes Review", literary editor of the Scottish History Society and has written books on Edinburgh and the Reformation, Mary, Queen of Scots and the Scottish Burghs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best single volume history of Scotland, 28 May 2002
By A Customer
This is by far the best single volume history of Scotland available. It is neither too scholarly and dry, nor sloppily populist. It was written fairly recently (unlike similar works) and appears to be in touch with modern scholarly thinking. It is a miracle of condensation but information does not come too fast to overwhelm the reader. If there was any justice this book would sell by the bucketloads.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great One Volume History of Scotland, 30 Jun 2008
By will1957 (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I bought this book when it was first published and still refer to it. It is a nearly ideal one volume history of Scotland and a great stepping stone to more in depth study. I cannot recommend it too highly
