Blurb: “This is the story of a nation.
Since 1707 Scotland has constituted a full partner in a voluntary union. As such, even today, she retains not merely a distinct national identity and culture but many of her own institutions, particularly in the spheres of law and education.
That Scotland's past has been far more than mists and tartans appears very clearly in this short but remarkably comprehensive history by Professor
J. D. Mackie, who for nearly thirty years occupied the Chair of Scottish History and Literature in the University of Glasgow. Applying the most recent research he traces the growth of a people who successively kept at bay both the Romans and the English and who pursued an economic, religious, and constitutional development which was independent of their neighbours in the semi-detached island of Great Britain.
