Scottish history unfolds through 150 vivid vignettes, revealing enduring milestones shaping national character.
The 2000-plus years of Scottish history have seen a huge variety of events, from great national moments to personal achievements, each one helping to make and mould the character of the nation. This compendium takes note of the milestones - historical as well as cultural, serious as well as entertaining - but also of the many steps between them.
Carefully chosen and researched for their interest and variety, they make a fascinating record: 150 vignettes form a 'family album' of the Scottish people from the Romans in Scotland in the first century CE to climate change in the 2020s. And everything in between.
