Scotland: The Autobiography
Scotland: The Autobiography: 2,000 Years of Scottish History by Those Who Saw it Happen | Rosemary Goring
1 post | 2 to read
A vivid, wide-ranging and engrossing account of Scotland's history, composed of eye-witness accounts by those who experienced it first-hand. Contributors range from Tacitus, Mary Queen of Scots and Oliver Cromwell to Adam Smith, David Livingstone and Billy Connolly. These include key historic moments - ranging from Bannockburn and Flodden to the SNP parliamentary victory in 2007 - along with a vast array of wonderfully readable insights into the everyday life of Scotland through the millennia. This is living, accesible history told by crofters, criminals, servants, house-wives, poets, journalists, nurses, politicians, novelists, prisoners, comedians, sportsmen and many more.

Non-Fiction about a country I'd like to visit=Scotland! The plan is to head there in March 2018, so I rounded up some books to help with the planning! If any Littens have suggestions on books, places, bookstores or things to do pass them my way! #uncannyoctober #scotland #iwouldliketovisit #nonfiction #nfaboutacountryyoudliketovisit
