Books, Maps & Other Resources Scotland / Scottish Genealogy & History BOOK - Scottish Dates. By: Brian D. Osborne & Ronald Armstrong. 
This entertaining and original compendium provides essential information on pivotal moments, major personalities and absurd incidents in Scotland's varied and colourful history. Obscure as well as important dates have been carefully researched and chronologically listed, and the result is an indispensable book for anyone who ever wanted to know how old was the "Auld Alliance" or had difficulty distinguishing General Wolfe and the Wolf of Badenoch.
Each key date is covered in three sections - the event itself is described in narrative form, the contemporary view recounts the point-of-view of the time using descriptions and text from the period in question, and the wider view gives an explanation of the subject's historic significance or context. The authors also provide a list of monarchs, a note on the Scottish capitals and a comprehensive index. Soft Cover, 188pgs, ISBN 1-874744-40-8
