Over 150 vivid eyewitness accounts form the backbone of this eclectic collage covering nearly 2000 years of Scottish history. Historian Louise Yeoman's rummage through the wonderful manuscript, book, and newspaper archives of the National Library of Scotland has yielded an astonishing range of material, from a letter to the king of the Picts right up to the late 20th century opening of the new Scottish Parliament. The result is compelling reading and includes many accounts rarely seen or known of.
