Scotland: The Making and Unmaking of the Nation, c.1100-1707 aims to show the importance of Scotland’s relationships to Europe and its part in a broader European story, as well as to dispel long-established myths and preconceptions which continue to exert a firm grip on public opinion. Especially in a post-devolution era, Scottish history and Scotland deserve better than this.
