Scotland

This was a very good dictionary type primer on the people,places and lore of Scotland. None of it went into much detail,but I think as a first encounter with the topics,it is good.Narration by Christian Neale was well done. I was given this book free for an honest review.

Nice overview of Scottish history for the rest of

This is not a book for the frowning serious scholar but for those of us who are not Scottish but are interested in how Scotland went from Stone Age to the 21st century. This is also not a book larger than the OED, but something much more manageable to absorb. I liked it a lot. The excellent narration by Christian Neale really added to my appreciation of the material.
I won this audiobook in a giveaway without expectations.

Scotland, what a great history story

The Epic Legends & Untold Stories of Scotland's Past is a very interesting story that I enjoyed listening to. There was so many facts that I did not know about even though my Grandmother was from Edinburgh, they where a blood thirsty lot. If you like to hear about the history of a place, this is the story for you to either read or listen to. I enjoyed listening to Christian Neale's voice as he narrated this story.

Scottish History to love

I have visited Scotland a few times and always loved my visits there and learning more of its history, this audiobook helps you learn more of not only the place but also of its people! A must listen too!!

Excellent overview

I found this book an excellent overview of Scotland's history, it really gave it life.

Perfect Complete History of Scotland...Prepare for your Scottish Trip

Whether your desire to learn more about the history of Scotland is fueled by an upcoming trip to Edinburgh or your fantasy love affair with Jamie Fraser of Outlander, this audiobook is a delightful, fun, engaging history of Caledonia. Well narrated.

A concise but well organized and complete history of Scotland

This lovely history audiobook has given me a much better understanding of the prehistory and history of Scotland. It is very well organized and the excellent narrator enhances the experience. He has an English accent with superb enunciation and a lovely musical tone to his voice.

The text contains abundant detail and covers every age of the formation and development of the Scottish state, including prehistory, Roman, medieval, Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, and modern times. It was fascinating learning how various famous Scottish historical figures fit into the historical timeline and the complicated past politics of Scotland. I especially liked hearing about Macbeth, William Wallace, and Mary Queen of Scots. Due to this cool audiobook I now know why the Jacobite Uprisings started, which gave me useful context for fiction books and TV series that I watch.

I requested and received a free audio copy from the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Entertaining

Perfect for history buffs who want a deeper dive into the origins of Scotland, the period of Viking invasions, and the lives of kings and queens like Margaret Tudor and Mary Queen of Scots. Loved the background information on William Wallace the real Braveheart that inspired the movie. It was great to get more detail behind the myths of legends of famous Scots.

A quick, very basic intro to Scottish history

This was a fairly decent introduction to the history of Scotland that most pretty quickly from prehistoric to the industrial age. The narration was easy to listen to and entertaining, if a bit like a used car sales pitch, and was for the most part accurate in the broad strokes (although some details might be debatable). There certainly was not much detailed research presented to defend the narrative. There also was not much in the myth and legend department aside from some prehistoric and bronze age speculation (which was a pity as that would have added so much more to this very short book).

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Scotland

This is an interesting look at the history of Scotland and how it became a land of its own. There is a lot of information on clans and rulers and the dates that they were in power. I found this as more of a text book than an entertaining listen. I did enjoy learning how Scotland became what it is now but would have enjoyed a book that was not so much just names and dates and had a bit more of the legends and myths as the title states. Narrator Christian Neale does a good job with the narration.
