Description
"This compelling investigation is peopled with some of the greatest figures in history, from Bonnie Prince Charlie and Butcher Cumberland to Dr Johnson and James Boswell, and Adam Smith to William Pitt. The nineteenth century saw Glasgow become the second city of the British Empire and Queen Victoria launch a cult of Scotland, especially of the Highlands. The two world wars brought the countries ever closer, only for the long story of devolution to begin within a generation. Margaret Thatcher's role in this growing disillusionment is analysed for the first time. In revealing how the two nations have seen and influenced each other, noted writer and commentator Allan Massie questions whether this historic and powerful union can survive. It is an inspiring narrative that will unsettle received wisdom on this most fascinating, turbulent and romantic relationship."
