Scotland: A History From Earliest Times

Moffat focuses on key moments in the nation’s history such as the Battle of Bannockburn and the Jacobite Risings. However also featured are episodes in history that are perhaps less well documented.

From prehistoric timber halls to inventions and literature, Moffat’s tale explores the drama of battle, change, loss and invention interspersed with the lives of ordinary Scottish folk, the men and women who defined a nation.
