The kingdom of Scots was the last of the non-Anglo-Saxon states of
Britain to survive as a political entity. Alone of the 'Celtic'
nations, it was not absorbed into England by conquest. James VI of
Scotland came to the throne of England in 1603, and when union with
England finally came in 1707 during the reign of Queen Anne, it was
technically on equal terms. This success owed much to the abilities
and tenacity of a succession of rulers. The story of the rulers of
Scotland's constituent states and then of the united kingdom of
Scots from Kenneth MacAlpin onwards is complex and often violent.
It is full of rapid reversals of fortune, brilliant and incompetent
leadership, family strife, and triumph and tragedy closely
intertwined. The obscure earlier history is often as fascinating as
the better-known stories of the Bruce and Queen Mary, though less
familiar. This saga of a thousand years is a tribute to the
qualities of Scotland's rulers.
