Publisher's Synopsis
It may be Europe's last great wilderness, but Scotland is an ancient civilization with a unique culture. It was, perhaps, Sir Walter Scott who managed to rewrite Scotland's history, not as the brutal affair it was, but as a heroic dramatic pageant, encouraging the birth of an enlightened, forward-looking Scotland at ease with its tumultuous past. This book is a photographic tribute to the glory of the country and its people.;Charles Maclean is the author of "Island on the Edge of the World", "Target Amin", "The Watcher" and "Scottish Country".
