Originally published in 1971, this book gives the real substance of
Scotland at the time of Mary Queen of Scots. It describes in
extensive and colourful detail the way people of all ranks of
society lived, their homes, their food and amusements, the ways
they earned their living, cared for the sick and punished
offenders. Family life, religion, the structure and activities of
the clans and the state of the arts are all discussed. The book
gives a true picture of a disturbed and remote country in the
sixteenth century – a picture of contrasts and contradictions, as
Scotland at that time was a country in transition between the
medievalism of the Roman Catholic Church and the new Scotland with
a rising merchant class.
