"The Scottish Nation" takes up the story with rival dynasties struggling among themselves and against the English. It shows how the Scots managed to secure an independence and within its uneasy confines create a new and sophisticated nation. It considers how the new Stewart dynasty sought to tame the highlands and islands. It examines the nature of Mary's reign, Knox's Reformation, and the union of the crowns under James VI. It explores the clash of loyalties during the years of the Covenanters, under Cromwell's Commonwealth, and within the restored monarchy of Charles II. Finally, it tells how this first nation of Scotland came to an end with the union of the parliaments.
Menzies's bestselling books on the peopling of Scotland and the first Scottish nation are now published as a single volume, presenting a narrative history of Scotland from earliest inhabitants to the 1707 union with England. The authors include the greatest Scottish historians of our time: G. W. S. Barrow, T. C. Smout, Edward J. Cowan, A.A.M. Duncan, William Ferguson, Jennifer Wormald, John Bannerman, Isabel Henderson, and many others. Illustrated with 12 maps and 32 pages of plates, this is popular history at its best.
