Depending on what you expected it to be exactly , this book overdoes the eulogising of some Scots , if it all be true sad it is that today such praise can no longer be pointed in that direction . The rot commenced with the American influence in the 1960s with the motto 'make love not war- and where is my Social Security ' , nowadays few want to work letting the members of a overpopulated world come and do it for them; this inspired and largely controlled by the interests of a certain group where successful enterprises are bought over and controlled by others be it football teams or technological businesses , the whole edifice resting on candy-floss .

Interesting (very) and informative. A compelling read about who we are, what our influence and mistakes were and how we got to be where we are today. Maybe English people shoul read it too and try to grasp that Scotland isn't actually a region but a country.

A most enlightening read! I learned more about Scottish history from this book than I was ever taught in school in the 50's. It was good to see ourselves as others see us and thanks are due to Arthur Herman for his excellent book. It seems Scotland achieved most in a period when England was not meddling or worse. Could independence bring about a similar resurgence in the 21st century?
