This illuminating and insightful guide offers a comprehensive overview
of Scottish history, from the kingdom's genesis in the ninth century to
the independence debates of the present day. Considering both internal
dynamics and international horizons, Allan Macinnes asserts Scotland's
heritage as significant and compelling in its own right, rather than
reducing it to an offshoot of England's past.
Rigorous and wide-ranging, this textbook is an essential companion for
undergraduate and postgraduate students of History. Its lively and
accessible style makes it suitable for anyone with an interest in
Scotland's national development.
