    Not a book on Scottish history but since so many of our founding fathers had Scottish roots, and since this is a great book I would say 1776 by David McCullough. It is one of the best history books that I have ever read. It is almost like reading a novel.

    If you can find a copy, Cliff Hanley's A Skinful of Scotch is pretty good. It's out of print, but seems to be pretty easy to track down on the used book sites.

    A fun read, and well written, with a taste of Culloden and then to America, all mixed with a background taste of time travel: the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabladon. (scoff it you want, but I enjoyed them)
