Scotland Bloody Scotland

Rating:
Summary: Tongue in Cheek? - Maybe, but it's true...
Review: I first read this in book about 10 years ago and was aghast at the content. As a proud Scot I felt slighted by some of it. However, it got me on the road to delving into Scottish history and it didn't take long to discover that what the author explained, in just under 100 pages, was in fact very accurate. I therefore read the book again. And again. It's an excellent read, with the information coming in relatively bite sized chunks so that the reader is not swamped with surplus detail. Read it - but (if you are a Scot) don't get annoyed - I'm afraid it's us!
