Scotland: The Autobiography is a vivid, wide-ranging and engrossing account of Scotland's history, composed of eye-witness accounts by those who experienced it first-hand.

These include not just key moments of Scottish history - from Bannockburn to the opening of the new parliament in 1999 - but testimonies like that of the eight-year-old factory worker from Dundee who was dangled by his ear out of a third-floor window for making a mistake; the survivors of Culloden, who wished perhaps that they had died on the field; the breakthrough moment for John Logie Baird, inventor of television, and the genesis of great works of literature recorded by Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson and the editor of Encyclopaedia Britannica. From the battlefield to the sportsfield, we have moments of glory or disaster, as well as wonderfully readable insights into the everyday life of Scotland through the millennia.
