Medieval Scotland: The Forging of a Nation torrent

Medieval Scotland: The Forging of a Nation - Alan MacQuarrie [epub]

Of all the Celtic peoples once dominant across the whole of Europe north of the Alps, only the Scots established a kingdom that lasted. Wales, Brittany and Ireland, subject to the same sort of pressure from a powerful neighbour, retained linguistic distinctiveness but lost political nationhood. What made Scotland's history so different?

Alan Macquarrie teaches in the department of Scottish history at Strathclyde University. His previous publications include Scotland and the Crusades.
