The history of the Scottish monarchy is a long tale of triumph over
adversity, characterised by the personal achievements of remarkable
rulers who transformed their fragile kingdom into the master of
northern Britain. The Kings and Queens of Scotland charts that
process, from the earliest Scots and Pictish kings of around ad 400
through to the union of parliaments in 1707, tracing it through the
lives of the men and women whose ambitions drove it forward on the
often rocky path from its semi-mythical foundations to its
integration into the Stewart kingdom of Great Britain. It is a
route waymarked with such towering personalities as Macbeth, Robert
the Bruce and Mary Queen of Scots, but directed also by a host of
less well-known figures such as David I, who extended his kingdom
almost to the gates of York, and James IV, builder of the finest
navy in northern Europe. Their will and ambition, successes and
failures not only shaped modern Scotland, but have left their mark
throughout the British Isles and the wider world.
