A New General History of Scotland (Volume I) opens a grand, carefully crafted narrative of a country shaped by kings, clans and contested crowns. Scotland's story begins in earnest. In this classic Scotland history work, Robert Heron traces the origins of Scotland from its earliest recorded peoples through the emergence of medieval Scotland, the rise of the royal house, and the long evolution of Scottish clan history within the wider story of the British Isles. Written in the late eighteenth century, it stands as a richly detailed narrative history of Scotland that leads towards the upheavals of the Jacobite era Scotland and the landmark abolition of hereditary jurisdictions in 1748, making it invaluable both for curious general readers and for Scottish history students. First published only a generation after the last Jacobite rising, this 18th century Scotland perspective has become a classic reference point in Scottish and British Isles history, valued as much for the mind of its author as for the events it describes. As an academic history reference book and a compelling Scottish history book for the general reader, it offers insight into how Scots of Heron's age understood their own past, from ancient traditions to modern statehood, with particular power for those drawn to medieval Scotland history and the constitutional changes around the abolition of hereditary jurisdictions. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
