Reportage Scotland by Louise Yeoman
Scottish History in the Voices of Those Who Were There
Containing full historical documentation, including some rarely-seen material, this text takes a close look at Scotland's historical events, both great and small, through the eyes of those that were there.Events--both major and minor--as seen and recorded by Scots throughout history. Which king was murdered in a sewer? What was Dr Fian's love magic? Which cardinal was salted and put in a barrel? The answers can all be found in this eclectic mix covering nearly 2,000 years of Scottish history. Historian Louise Yeoman's rumage through the manuscript, book and newspaper archives of National Library of Scotland has yielded an astonishing range of material, from a letter to the King of the Picts to Mary Queen of Scots' own account of the murder of David Riccio; from the execution of William Wallace to accounts of anti-poll tax actions and the opening of the new Scottish Parliament. |
