Scotland's Story

Tom Steel has written an easy to read and comprehensive timeline of Scotland's history. His book discusses the various political, geographical, personal and economic events in Scottish history that make Scotland the land it is today. He discusses particularly how Scotland's almost continuous battle with English has contributed to the way we see Scotland and it's inhabitants and how they see themselves. This is not a greatly detailed book in terms of listing absolutely every date and event that ever occured in Scotland, nor does the author place Scotland in terms of what's happening in the rest of the world at any given time during Scottish history. However, this book is an excellent place to start for a broad overview of Scotland's long, proud and often violent history.
