E-book Explanation:

University Press returns with another short and captivating book - a brief history of Scotland. Replete with its whisky, kilts, bagpipes, and castles, Scotland is an enchanting country with a rich history, extraordinary culture, and striking scenery. Ever since the first humans arrived more than 12,000 years ago, Scotland has attracted immigrants, assimilated cultures, spawned clans, and fought fiercely for political, philosophical, and economic independence. Scotland: from hunting and gathering, to the Neolithic Revolution, to the visits of ancient Greek explorers, to Roman invasions, to the arrival of Christianity, to Viking raids, to the evolution of the clans, to the Scottish monarchy, to William Wallace, to Scottish independence, to the Scottish Renaissance, to Mary, Queen of Scots, to the Scottish Enlightenment, to the Industrial Revolution, to the First and Second World Wars, to the referendum on Scottish Independence. This short book peels back the veil and provides a brief glimpse into the gut-wrenching, heart-warming, grief-inducing, awe-inspiring history of the Scottish clanlands - a glimpse that you can read in about an hour.
