The Men of Warre

The Men of Warre examines the clothes, weapons and accoutrements of the Scots at war between 1460 and 1600 using a wide range of sources to present a clear picture of the what the highland and lowland Scots were wearing and fighting with in this crucial and turbulent period in Scotland’s history.  Scott has carefully drawn together a myriad of sources to present a picture of the Scots from the late medieval to the cusp of the early modern period and the material culture of war.

"....In addition to the obvious interest this book will garner among historians and military enthusiasts the author also weaves in many elements relating to the social history of the Scots, and I can happily recommend this new book on that basis." Colin Ashton, carryingsonupthedale.com

"....A book I would unreservedly recommend to anyone interested in the subject of the appearance of Scots (men) in the century and a half that it covers." Arquebusier

"...Overall, this is an excellent book which I would recommend as a must have for anyone interested in the Scottish Army of this period. The information contained inside is highly valuable." Rob Anderson

"....The Men of Warre is a fascinating survey of the Scottish military during this period of transition. Scott depicts a dynamic military, willing to change and adapt to the changing needs of warfare but also describes the restrictions in doing so. Scott writes with authority and is clearly an expert on her subject....I suspect Scott’s book will be the go-to opening for any student of this period in Scottish military history." hamsterwrangler.com
