A Short History of Scotland

Scotland is one of the oldest countries in the world with a rich, diverse past. The nation’s recorded history began with the arrival of the Roman Empire in the 1st century, when the province of Britannia reached as far north as the line between the firths of Clyde to the Forth. 


In A Short History of Scotland, historian and journalist Andrew Lang provides a concise and comprehensive survey rife with action, high drama and centuries of turbulence that have helped to shape modern Scotland.
