About the Book:
This book deals with the much-neglected period from the beginnings of Scottish history to 1286 which saw the emergence of a Scottish nation. The author's stature as a scholar is widely recognised and her skill as a writer capable of bringing to life the events of the past is abundantly demonstrated within this book.
Drawing on extensive research and a deep appreciation for Scottish history, Mackenzie provides a comprehensive overview of the people, places, and events that shaped Scotland from prehistoric times to the present day. This book is an ideal introduction for anyone interested in Scottish culture and identity.
This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilisation as we know it.
