Over the last three decades major advances in research and scholarship have transformed understanding of the Scottish past. In this landmark study some of the most eminent writers on the subject, together with emerging new talents, have combined to produce a large-scale volume which reconsiders in fresh and illuminating ways the classic themes of the nation's history since the sixteenth century as well as a number of new topics which are only now receiving detailed attention. Such major themes as the Reformation, the Union of 1707, the Scottish Enlightenment, clearances, industrialisation, empire, emigration, and the Great War are approached from novel and fascinating perspectives, but so too are such issues as the Scottish environment, myth, family, criminality, the literary tradition, and Scotland's contemporary history. All chapters contain expert syntheses of current knowledge, but their authors also stand back and reflect critically on the questions which still remain unanswered, the issues which generate dispute and controversy, and sketch out where appropriate the agenda for future research. The Handbook also places the Scottish experience firmly into an international historical perspective with a considerable focus on the age-old emigration of the Scottish people, the impact of successive waves of immigrants to Scotland, and the nation's key role within the British Empire. The overall result is a vibrant and stimulating review of modern Scottish history: essential reading for students and scholars alike.

From geological origins to the momentous Independence Referendum, this is the essential accessible guide to exploring Scotland's history.

Excerpt from Handbook for Travellers in Scotland Notwithstanding the existence of other Guides for Scotland, the constant demand for a Handbook for Travellers in that country, and reiterated assurances that such a work is really needed, have induced the publisher to offer this volume to the public as part of his series. If it possess any superiority above its predecessors, it will be found to depend on its being compiled from bona fide personal knowledge of the country, on the clearness of its arrangement, and the facilities of reference; and, above all, it is hoped on its accuracy and completeness. But as perfect correctness is scarcely to be attained in a work of this class, crammed so full of names, dates, and facts, man of them constantly changing from year to year, but capable of verification on the spot, those who make use of it are earnestly invited kindly to point out any errors or omissions which may be detected, and communicate them to the publisher. The Editor of the Handbooks to North and South Germany, France, etc, having of late years travelled much in Scotland, with never ceasing admiration of the country, has undertaken the revision of the Third and Fourth Editions of the "Handbook of Scotland." He has revised great part of it on the spot, and has rewritten nearly one-half. He would fain hope that he has rendered the book more correct, complete, methodical, and practically useful to travellers in general. The division of the Routes into sections enables him to offer a few general observations under each, with the design of directing the stranger at once to the most interesting objects, and hence aid him in planning his own Route.
