The dramatic story of Scotland - by charismatic television historian,Neil Oliver.
Scotland is one of the oldest countries in the world with a vivid and diverse past. Yet the stories and figures that dominate Scottish history - tales of failure,submission,thwarted ambition and tragedy - often badly serve this great nation,overshadowing the rich tapestry of her intricate past.
Historian Neil Oliver presents a compelling new portrait of Scottish history,peppered with action,high drama and centuries of turbulence that have helped to shape modern Scotland. Along the way,he takes in iconic landmarks and historic architecture; debunks myths surrounding Scotland's famous sons; recalls forgotten battles; charts the growth of patriotism; and explores recent political developments,capturing Scotland's sense of identity and celebrating her place in the wider world.
