"There was a lot of detail in this book. I was mostly interested in finding out more information about William Wallace, Robert the Bruce (Great Granddad) and David II (another Great Granddad). It was crazy reading about all the turmoil between the English and the Scots."
"This is a thick book!! And I really enjoyed most of the book! The last but coming into the 1940's and on were okay. My family came to America from Great Britain with the Pilgrims practically so I had no sense of their homelands history. Unlike my husbands whose family came from Glasgow to the US in 1912. It was very fascinating and will pick it up and read this book every now and again, just to re-read certain facts of historical significance. Now I just need a book about England and Ireland that's just as easily written."
"It was interesting to read something written from a Scottish perspective on historical periods that I'm more familiar with from an English/Irish/French point of view. Also, I like the way Magnusson works in details about historical sites/exhibits - it makes me want to go to Scotland.
I good read, but I liked the author's The Vikings better."
