NARROW SEA (IRELAND / SCOTLAND)

An exploration of the myriad historical connections, correlations, personalities and antagonisms that have shaped the relationship between the island of Ireland and Scotland. From the first migration of Paleolithic tribes and encounters with the explorers and invaders of antiquity, to the Vikings, the Normans and the Stuarts, the book ranges across the centuries to show how related cultures and experiences laid the basis for two distinct nations. Based on the BBC Ulster radio series, and written by one of Ireland’s most eminent historians.
