3.0 out of 5 stars Where is Robert Louis Stevenson?, 30 Nov 2006
The book is written in thematic chapters and sections (resulting in "social life" sections being interspersed between "political history" sections), and lacks in continuity, or historic robustness. Even though the chosen technique is sure to appeal to children (for whom the book is primarily intended, anyway), whose attention span tends to be rather short, this is achieved at the cost of some confusion at to who or what comes after what or who - and why. At any rate, the writing style is vivid and attractive, and the liberal use of colour, drawings, and photos adds to the book's appeal. (By the way, the author's name is "Fiona Macdonald", not "Flora MacDonald".)

A glaring omission is a reference to Robert Louis Stevenson, all the more remarkable since under the chapter-heading "Famous Scots" there are two sections devoted to "Poets and Novelists" and "Writers and Thinkers", where there is no mention whatsoever of RLS.

Despite these criticisms, I would recommend the book as a child- and visitor-pleasing introduction to the down-to-the present history of Scotland.
