Summary
The Scottish soldier has been at war for over 2000 years. Scotland has a prestigious military history but to date there has been no reference work examining this rich heritage. This book describes how the Scottish military functioned and battled from pre-Roman to modern times. The role of the military in Scottish national identity is examined, as well as the evolution of the pre-Roman warrior to the modern soldier. This book covers all major battles and wars, including the Jacobite Rebellion and both World Wars.
