Scotland by Jenny Wormald
Taking in events as diverse as the Scottish assertion of independence at the end of the thirteenth century, the Union of the Crowns, and devolution, this book traces Scottish history from pre-1100 to the twentieth century. It also shows that Scotland was a successful, thriving, and important kingdom of international renown.
