An engaging and authoritative history of Scotland’s influence in
the world and the world’s on Scotland, from the Thirty Years’
War to the present day Scotland is one of the oldest
nations in the world, yet by some it is hardly counted as a nation
at all. Neither a colony of England nor a fully equal partner in
the British union, Scotland has often been seen as simply a
component part of British history. But the story of Scotland is one
of innovation, exploration, resistance—and global consequence.
In this wide-ranging, deeply researched account, Murray
Pittock examines the place of Scotland in the world. He explores
Scotland and Empire, the rise of nationalism, and the pressures on
the country from an increasingly monolithic understanding of
“Britishness.” From the Thirty Years’ War to Jacobite risings
and today’s ongoing independence debates, Scotland and its
diaspora have undergone profound changes. This groundbreaking
account reveals the diversity of Scotland’s history and shows
how, after the country disappeared from the map as an independent
state, it continued to build a global brand.
