A major reference work on Scotland’s martial past, A Military History of Scotland brings together leading historians to trace the development of Scottish warfare and military culture across more than two millennia. Rather than focusing only on campaigns and commanders, this substantial volume explores the wider military experience of Scotland, including warfare, identity, institutions, material culture, and the place of Scots in broader British and imperial conflicts.
Extensively illustrated and wide-ranging in scope, the book covers early warfare and the emergence of the Scottish kingdom, the forging of a Scottish-British military identity, and Scotland’s role in later conflicts through to the modern era. It is an important scholarly collection, but also a highly rewarding browsing volume thanks to its strong visual content and broad thematic coverage.
A superb addition for collectors of Scottish military history, regimental history, and reference libraries, and an excellent one-volume survey for readers wanting an authoritative overview from prehistory to the 21st century.
