Description
During the first millennium AD, the most northerly part of Britain evolved into the country known today as Scotland. The transition was a long process of social and political change driven by the ambitions of powerful warlords.
At first, these men were tribal chiefs, Roman generals, or rulers of small kingdoms. Later, after the Romans departed, the initiative was seized by dynamic warrior-kings who campaigned far beyond their own borders. Armies of Picts, Scots, Vikings, Britons, and Anglo-Saxons fought each other for supremacy.
From Lothian to Orkney, from Fife to the Isle of Skye, fierce battles were won and lost. By AD 1000, the political situation had changed forever. Led by a dynasty of Gaelic-speaking kings, the Picts and Scots began to forge a single, unified nation which transcended past enmities.
The Makers of Scotland by Tim Clarkson tells this fascinating story of transformation and unity.
