Critics Review
It’s a book that seems more like a multi-volume history, so sweeping is it; yet lucid and captivating even in detailed areas… Fundamental to Lynch’s approach is a sense of connection between now and then, however far back; he continuously shows how Scottish identity refashions its heroes and myths, yet clings to survival – Douglas Gifford
A monumental achievement * Times Literary Supplement *
Breathtaking and absorbing * Scottish Field *
Fascinating…it ought to be compulsory reading for all MPs, journalists and commentators before they were permitted to talk about European economic and political union – Tom Wilkie * Independent *
