SCOTLAND: A VERY SHORT INTRODUCTION (PB)

Since Devolution in 1999 Scotland has become a focus of intense interest both within Britain and throughout the wider world. Examining politics, law, society, religion, education, migration, and culture, this book examines how the nation's history has made it distinct from England, both before and after Union, how it overcame internal tensions between Highland and Lowland society, and how it has today arrived at a political, social and culture watershed. This is Scotland's story without myths: an ideal introduction for those interested in the Scots.
