Scotland's story begins in shadow. In Volume III of Robert Heron's A New General History of Scotland, that shadow gives way to a vivid, human portrait of a nation moving from clan and crown towards a modern state. Blending careful scholarship with an engaging, narrative national history, Heron traces the transformation from medieval Scotland history to the pressures and possibilities of early modern Scotland. He explores feudal society in Scotland, the shifting balance between local power and royal authority, and the long arc of Scottish political development that culminated in the abolition of the hereditary jurisdictions in Scotland in 1748. As a Scottish history reference, this classic historical volume speaks both to curious general readers and to those using it for history students, academic work, or Scottish genealogy research. Readers who value the Robert Heron history of Scotland, or who know William Robertson's history of Scotland, will appreciate this Enlightenment-era perspective on law, land, belief, and identity, and the forces that shaped a nation. 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. Ideal for both thoughtful casual readers and serious collectors of classic historical works.
