Scotland's Story

Aimed at children, this history of Scotland begins in legendary times and carries the story forward until the kingdoms of Scotland and England were joined. The telling is lively, and the exploits of the country's heroes and heroines sit at the centre.

The figures featured include Macbeth, William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Mary Queen of Scots, along with the poet king, the lady of the garden and the Glen of Weeping. Scotland's defence against English invaders runs through many of the chapters.

The book suits children learning Scottish history, parents reading aloud at home, and teachers who want a vivid introduction to the subject. It belongs to the Yesterday's Classics series.
