The Story of Scotland from the Earliest Times to the Present Century (Classic Reprint) by John Mackintosh (Paperback / softback, 2017)

The Story of Scotland presents two classes of facts and incidents of varied and absorbing interest. First, the conflict ofthe chief tribes with each other; the foundation Of the Monarchy; the gradual extension of the kingdom from its centre outward; and the development of a distinct and intense nationality. Second, the struggles arising from the invasions and attacks of external enemies, which were commenced by the Romans, followed by the Danes and Norwe gians and, finally, the long and unequal struggle with England. In all these conflicts for liberty and inde pendence, the Scots made a heroic and memorable defence. Although often cruelly oppressed and driven to the greatest extremities of suffering and privation, at times almost conquered; still in the face Of all obstacles and against fearful odds they continued to resist and ultimately triumphed.
