5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding introduction to Scottish history, May 9, 2001

By	Alastair Mcintyre, Electric Scotland "Alastair" (Grangemouth, Falkirk Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Trying to understand the history of Scotland is hard enough but when it's hidden by all the mystery of Scottish clans it's even more difficult. This book gives a truly outstanding account of the history of Scotland from early BC to present day. It's probably the finest introduction to Scotland you'll find anywhere. The author tell us.. "I have tried to offer, to the general reader, not another narrative, but rather an explanation. I have concentrated upon what I believe to be the factors and the influences, the events and developments, the opinions and the decisions, which have caused Scots to undergo that set of experiences which we call our history." I can only conclude he's done an excellent job.
