Book Review: Scotland by History Brought Alive

⭐⭐⭐⭐

History Brought Alive does a great job of summarizing Scotland’s history with this book. It was interesting to see how the nation grew and developed over the past two millennia. As someone with Scottish heritage, I appreciate the time and effort of History Brought Alive and their team in researching, compiling the facts, and presenting them to the world.

What I found disappointing was the misleading title. The book speaks nothing of the myths or legends of Scotland’s rich history, so if that is what you hope to find, you will need to look elsewhere.

Overall, from a purely historical perspective, this book is a lovely introduction for those who find the study of history daunting but wish to learn a bit more about the nation of Scotland and her people.

Author, philosopher, military wife, and mother of four boys, in my free time (haha, what is that?), I am a voracious reader and lover of large cups of tea. While I enjoy reading everything, my favorite genre is fantasy. Some of my hobbies include reading and reviewing books on various online platforms, entering writing competitions, feeding the crows that visit my home, and overthinking. I have dabbled in short stories and writing poetry, publishing a small book of my poems in 2022, with an independent publisher. I enjoy keeping the world up-to-date on my writing, reading, and random thoughts on my blog.
