From its earliest inhabitants up to the beginnings of Stewart rule, 'Scotland: A Very Peculiar History – Volume 1' is a lively and informative account of the chequered (or rather, 'tartaned') history of Scotland. Detailing grisly clan wars and the many mythical creatures to look out for while you're out in the wild, this ebook gives an objective account of the nation's history, with 'no added haggis'! Focussing on the more weird and wonderful aspects of Scottish history, such as forgotten towns and mysterious runes, it celebrates how Scotland came to be, and includes fact boxes, quotes, poetry excerpts and recipes you wouldn't believe!

    Grieving widow Devorgilla Balliol wore her dead husband’s heart like a jewel – and founded Sweetheart Abbey near Dumfries as a place where it, and she, could be buried.

      Books, songs, poems and blockbuster films praise Wallace as one of Scotland’s greatest heroes. It is strange but perhaps inevitable that a statue below the massive Wallace monument at Stirling is modelled on Australian movie star Mel Gibson.
      A group of Scots, averse to this cinematisation of history, protested at the likeness. Soon the statue had to be cordoned off to protect it from vandalism. Strange that a statue proclaiming ‘FREEDOM’ should have to be locked behind bars for its own protection!

        The Stone of Destiny (real or fake) was ‘kidnapped’ from Westminster Abbey in London by Scottish students in 1950. It was found in Arbroath Abbey, returned to London, and then officially given back to Scotland in 1996.
