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.
