Scotland's Story: A History Of Scotland For Boys And Girls is both a history of Scotland as well as delving into some of its legends. Written with younger readers in mind, it begins with the legend of Prince Gathelus and continues through King George IV (1762 —1830). The author writes, “And here I think I must end, for Scotland has no more a story of her own – her story is Britain's story.”
Within the book we will learn of Macbeth, of Robert the Bruce, of the Stewart kings, as well as a romanticized depiction of William Wallace. - Summary by James R Hedrick
