A popular history of the longest period of conflict between Scotland and England. It covers the story of William Wallace and his rebellion (subject of the Mel Gibson movie "Braveheart"), and goes on to explore the career of Robert the Bruce, arguably Scotland's most capable military leader ever. The text continues after Bruce's death, revealing how Scottish invasions of northern England were finally halted and peace negotiated at Berwick in 1357. (After that, English military efforts were concentrated against France, beginning the "Hundred Years War"). Illustrations show how the soldiers were armed and equipped during 60 years of medieval warfare. Computer-generated maps reveal how Wallace outwitted the English army at Stirling Bridge and how Bruce achieved his incredible victory at Bannockburn. Peter Winter's text vividly describes this dramatic era of Anglo-Scottish conflict. 352pp.

In the nineteenth century many of the inhabitants of the Highland glens were cleared out, often by forcible evictions, to make way for a more profitable tenant; the Great Cheviot sheep. Families had to leave the homes where they had lived for generations. Thousands emigrated over the ocean in the hope of a better life. The tragedy of the Clearances, brought about by cynical, often absentee landowners, is a black page in Scotland's history. The effects of it are still being felt in Scotland and in the countries where the unwilling migrants settled. Written while the events it describes were still unfolding, Mackenzie's impassioned History brings the distress of the age unforgettably before the reader. N.B. Reading crease to spine. Corners slightly rubbed. Signature on half title page. Address written underneath Melven Press logo on title page in red ink. 528pp.
