Customer Reviews

good little book

this book has some interesting stories, but unless you have background historical knowledge of the city, it might be a little hard to piece together. I had just returned from a trip to Edinburgh and the Highlands, so I found that helpful in understanding the situations. Great book forgetting young people interested in history

Great Books!

We first found the "Horrible Histories" series while traveling in Scotland - they are great books! Both of my boys love reading them...they are the right amount of history with pictures and drawings for interest.
