HISTORY OF SCOTLAND (AMBER BOOKS) (HB)

Fascinating images and expert text combine to tell the story of Scotland from the Neolithic stone circles of Orkney to the Independence referendum. The book is arranged chronologically, with key moments highlighted and explored, such as the Roman invasion of Scotland; the short and dramatic reign of Mary Queen of Scots; the Scottish Enlightenment, whose philosophers of world standing include David Hume and Adam Smith; and the construction of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh in the 21st Century.
