All periods of recorded Scottish history are here, from the arrival of the Romans to the execution of William Wallace and the battle of Bannockburn, from the Covenant era, savage Jacobite risings and Highland Clearances to the Clydebank Blitz and the opening of the Scottish parliament in 1999." "Contributors range from Tacitus and Mary, Queen of Scots to Adam Smith, David Livingstone, Robert Lewis Stevenson and Billy Connolly. An assortment of eye-witness accounts has been selected, including extracts from chapbooks, newspapers, diaries, court records, state documents, biographies and letters - which together present key moments of Scottish history alongside lesser known but equally fascinating aspects of Scotland's social history."--BOOK JACKET.
