Overview

These one hundred essays on Scottish identity include the views of people at the center of things as well as those at the margins of society, the famous as well as the not so well known, the authoritative and mainstream as well as the idiosyncratic. It also contains a few views from North America, Europe and elsewhere. Some contributors delve into their personal histories. Others deal in political and cultural realities, and many rely on storytelling, humor, and lyricism.
