Across the turbulent Scottish Borders, the name of Scott carried power, peril and pride. Every name holds a story. First published in the late seventeenth century, Walter Scot's A True History of Several Honourable Families of the Right Honourable Name of Scot opens a rare window into the making of a great Border house. Written from within the world it describes, this classic Scottish clan history book traces the rise and spread of the Scott families across the shires of Roxburgh and Selkirk and neighbouring districts, capturing the pride, loyalties and rivalries of the Scottish Borders in vivid detail. Part Scottish genealogy reference, part local chronicle, it preserves traditions of noble family histories Scotland at the moment when oral memory, heraldry and record first meet on the printed page. For readers exploring house of Scott genealogy, border reiver family lines or wider clan genealogies of Scotland, this volume offers an indispensable primary voice: names, places and kinships set down by a contemporary of early modern Scotland nobility. It speaks equally to enthusiasts of Scottish Borders local history, to researchers using it for Scottish ancestry research, and to collectors who value a Burke style peerage genealogy in its original idiom. 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. An ideal gift for Scottish history buffs and a cornerstone reference for anyone drawn to the enduring legacy of the Scotts.
