I really love this book. It is informative, thorough, and it reads very easily. I have read it once and am on my second read. It goes from long long ago until recently. Amazing!

I’m not a historian, but I love history and this book approaches the life of Scotland through the perspective of those who lived it. The author presents accounts covering the entire range of Scotland’s history allowing the reader to see life, not just facts. Most interesting to me was the attempt to move past major battles and dry accounting of timeline events. This is an interesting and informative book for those wanting to know more about Scotland and her people.
