A timely & vivid look at Scotland`s long & difficult road to nationhood, re-exploring some cherished myths & unearthing a wealth of fascinating new detail. Magnus Magnusson`s starting point is Sir Walter Scott`s classic version of Scotland`s history, ` Tales of a Grandfather` (1827-29), which has moulded the views of generations of Scottish schoolchildren.
