Excerpt from The Historical Geography Clans of Scotland It will thus be seen that the work is not in any sense a history of the Clans, although, it is hoped, that it may be found a useful companion to any history of Scotland, or of the Highlands.

Excerpt from Historical Geography of the Clans of Scotland The Maps and Plans have been revised, and a new Map, to illustrate the rising Of 1715, has been added. The former Plan of the Battle of Culloden has been replaced by a new one, based on Home's plan and description. A few illustrations have also been added. The portraits are reproduced from engravings kindly lent for the purpose by Mr James Bru'ce, w.s. The historical narrative does not profess to be more than the brief recapitulation of an oft-told tale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Written by a leading sociologist of Scotland, this ground-breaking new introduction is a comprehensive account of the social, political, economic and cultural processes at work in contemporary Scottish society. At a time of major uncertainty and transformation The New Sociology of Scotland explores every aspect of Scottish life. Placed firmly in the context of globalisation, the text: examines a broad range of topics including race and ethnicity, social inequality, national identity, health, class, education, sport, media and culture, among many others. looks at the ramifications of recent political events such as British General Election of 2015, the Scottish parliament election of May 2016, and the Brexit referendum of June 2016. uses learning features such as further reading and discussion questions to stimulate students to engage critically with issues raised. Written in a lucid and accessible style, The New Sociology of Scotland is an indispensable guide for students of sociology and politics.

In this acclaimed book, Alistair Moffat tells the story of a part of Scotland that has played a huge role in the nation's history and moved poets, painters and writers as well as ordinary people for hundreds of years. The hunter-gatherers who first penetrated the virgin interior, the Celtic warlords, the Romans, the Northumbrians and the Reivers, who dominated the Anglo-Scottish borderlands for over 300 years, have all had their part to play in the constantly evolving life of the area. It is the people of a place that make its history and Alistair Moffat's book is a testament to those who have made the Borders their home, and who have created the traditions, myths and romance that define it so strongly.
