Reviews

"There is much here that is worthwhile. This is particularly true of the first half of the book, where the political narrative has many high points, as well as the thematic chapters which make the most of Oram's personal expertise, namely those on rural change and burghs." -- Matthew Hammond, The Scottish Historical Review
