Review Quote

It's a book that seems more like a multi-volume history, so sweeping is it; yet lucid and captivating even in detailed areas… Fundamental to Lynch's approach is a sense of connection between now and then, however far back; he continuously shows how Scottish identity refashions its heroes and myths, yet clings to survival
