A Sociolinguistic History of Scotland by Robert Mccoll Millar
Robert McColl Millar examines how language has been used in Scotland since the earliest times. While primarily focusing on the histories of the speakers of Scots and Gaelic, and their competition with the encroaching use of (Scottish) Standard English, he also traces the decline and eventual death of Pictish, British and Norn.

A Sociolinguistic History of Europe before the Modern Age (2010) and English Historical Sociolinguistics (2012).
