description: No visitor to Scotland can forget for a moment the powerful presence of history. Wherever one looks, castles, kirks, monuments speak of great and often tragic events. In this book John Burke provides an interweaving of history and topography. Scotland is divided into regions, chapter by chapter, so that wherever he is the reader can identify the place with its past. Not only do captains and kings appear but also farmers, fishermen, drovers and road builders. The author has also written "Illustrated History of England".
