Thematically organised, this book gathers together in one easy-to-use volume a mass of widely scattered and difficult-to-find information on a wide range of topics covering every aspect of life, including:
- politics
- commerce
- culture and the arts
- religion
- the media
- geography
- sport
- the military.
The information charts historical developments and events but wherever applicable, also presents the most up-to-date available, including that for the Scottish Parliament. As Scottish matters move increasingly to the fore in public consciousness, this book will become a valuable reference work for journalists, professional information researchers and anyone with an interest in Scottish affairs, past and present.
