Description
Scottish affairs are beginning to command attention in England, and Scottish history in particular is the focus of media and popular interest. In spite of this, there are few reliable reference works available that allow the curious to access quickly and easily the history of their nation. The Collins Dictionary of Scottish History seeks to rectify this situation, offering an up-to-date, authoritative and accessible survey of Scottish history from the 10th century.
