"Modern Scottish History: 1707 to the Present" was published in
five volumes in 1995 as a collaboration between the University of
Dundee and the Open University in Scotland. Written by leading
academics for the Distance Learning course run by the two
universities, the series is aimed also at a wide readership -
anyone with a serious interest in Scottish history - and presents
the fruits of the latest research in a readable style. The volumes
can be read singly, or as a series. Now come the first two volumes
of a further five-volume series, "Scotland: The Making and Unmaking
of the Nation, c.1100-1700", due for completion in 2007: the 300th
anniversary of the parliamentary union of Scotland with England.
The aim, however, is to show also the importance of Scottish
relationships and involvement in a broader European story, as well
as to dispel long-established myths and preconceptions about the
Scottish past which still exert a firm grip on general opinion.
Especially in a post-devolution era, Scottish history and Scotland
deserve better than this. A word about the title of the new series,
"Scotland: The Making and Unmaking of the Nation".It is certainly
designed to provoke but need not be taken to indicate a nationalist
view of 1707 as a moment of eclipse. Scotland's history, like all
histories, resists simple generalisations. Were it otherwise, its
study would not be so rewarding.
