Description: "Much traditional history of Scotland rests on fundamental interpretive errors perpetuated to maintain an origin as Celtic, Christian. This equation of Scotland with Celtic culture in popular (and academic) imagination has buried a more accurate understanding of its history. Research includes census records, archaeological artifacts, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, noble genealogies, portraiture, and place names"--Provided by publisher.
