From the Ice Age to the recent Scottish referendum, Alistair Moffat explores the history of the Scottish nation. As well as focusing on key moments, such as the Battle of Bannockburn and the Jacobite Risings, he details episodes that are perhaps less well documented. From prehistoric timber halls to inventions and literature, his 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.
