SCOTLAND: The Making and Unmaking of the Nation C.1100-1707 VOLUME 4 READINGS C. 1500-1707 This is one of a five-volume series, Scotland: The Making and Unmaking of the Nation, c.1100-1707. Volumes 1 and 3 were published in 200, and volumes 2, 4 and 5 in 2007 for the 300th anniversary of the parliamentary union of Scotland with England. The series shows the importance of Scottish relationships and involvement in a broader European story, and aims to dispel long-established myths and preconceptions about the Scottish past which still exert a firm grip on general opinion, even in a post-devolution era. This is a companion series to the earlier Modern Scottish History: 1707 to the Present published in 1998 as a collaboration between the University of Dundee and the Open University in Scotland. Written by leading academics for the Distance Learning course run by the two universities, the series is aimed also at a wide readership - anyone with a serious interest in Scottish history - and presents the fruits of the latest research in a readable style. The volumes can be read singly, or as a series. The title of the new series is designed to provoke but need not be taken to indicate a nationalist view of 1707 as a moment of eclipse. Scotland's history, like all histories, resists simple generalisations. Were it otherwise, its study would not be so rewarding. Bob Harris is Tutor and Fellow in Modern History at Worcester College, University of Oxford, and Alan MacDonald is Lecturer in Scottish History at the University of Dundee. The cover illustration shows a portrait of George Buchanan by Arnold van Brounkhorst, HC148, reporduced courtesy of the University of St Andrew. Design by James Hutcheson [DUP logo]
