This is a good thread. I know this has been asked before, but I can not find the thread, so I will ask it again here. What would be a good book to read for some broad Scottish history? And I am looking for something that will hold my attention, when I had history courses in college, it was all I could do to stay awake! Maybe something accurate but written to narrate the history not recite facts. If anyone has read Sea Hunters, by Clive Cussler, you might understand what I mean. For reference, I mainly read SF/F (Heinlein, Asimov, Brooks, Anthony) and anything by Stephen King.

I do remember somebody mentioning one book, How the Scots created the modern world, or a similar title, is that a good one?
