About the Book

The story of Scotland, of her history and culture in the words of the people who lived it, from the first century to the present day. Contributors range from Tacitus, Mary Queen of Scots and Oliver Cromwell to Adam Smith, David Livingstone, Billy Connolly and William Boyd.

“This has proved a real gold mine of esoteric snippets from history. ... From herring gutting in Wick to the glorious 12th in the 1830’s via riots everywhere to drunkenness and hangings it certainly gives a warts and all, pock marked face to the old country.”
