    History Books On Scotland?

    This is the book for which I am now asking opinions:
    Crowded With Genius: The Scottish Enlightenment: Edinburgh's Moment Of The Mind, by James Buchan; published, I think, by Harper Collins, in 2003.


    *** I will go ahead and get this book:
    Scotland: The Story of a Nation, by Magnus Magnusson, and I think it's published by Grove Press, in 2000. ***

    Is anyone familiar with it, and is it a good book history wise? The description says it covers antiquity through to the beginning of the seventeen-hundreds, and a little bit on up to the twentieth century.

    I already read Arthur Herman's, How the Scots Invented the Modern World.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
