From the Inside Flap
David R. Ross is passionate about Scotland’s past. And its future. In this heartfelt journey through Scotland’s story, he shares his passion for what it means to be a Scot.
Eschewing xenophobia, his deep understanding of how Scotland’s history touches her people shines through. All over Scotland, into England and Europe, over to Canada, Chicago and Washington – the people and the places that bring Scotland’s story to life, and death – including The Early Scots, Wallace and Bruce, The Union, Montrose, The Jacobites, John MacLean, Tartan Day USA and, revealed for the first time, the burial places of all Scotland’s monarchs.
This is not a history book. But it covers history. This is not a travel guide. But some places mentioned might be worth a visit. This is not a political manifesto. But a personal one. Read this book. It might make you angry. It might give you hope. You might shed a tear. You might not agree with David R. Ross. But read this book. You might rediscover your roots, your passion for Scotland.
