A History Of Scotland by Neil Oliver

4.0

Aside from the first two chapters - which spent a lot of time on the literal physically changing landscape of Scotland - this book has proven to be an utterly delightful journey into the history of Scotland. A lot of times when reading books on history, I have found myself wondering — Where is the heart? Why should I care, when it seems you barely do? But this book, is filled to the brim with the authors love of his country, it’s history and it’s people. It’s also got this underlying current of an attitude, as if you were having a conversation with an opinionated old friend. If you like history, I would highly recommend this book.
