A Slight History of Scotland

'A Slight History of Scotland' is written for the reader that wants to grasp the essentials of Scottish history without delving into a morass of names, dates and descriptions that can bewilder even the most diligent reader.

Presented in spreadsheet format the narrative is displayed in epochs and focused modules that conveniently categorize important events or encapsulate related chunks of information. The slightly illustrated text helps to punctuate the read.
