History of Scotland

I can imagine that the history of Scotland has raised your interest. For your convenience I have included both a short and a comprehensive version. The short version describes in one page the most important events leading up to present day. You get an overview of the early days when the first inhabitants, Celts from Spain, populated Scotland, the vikings, the Picts and further on to Mary Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie, the clan battles and the period of enlightenment in the eighteenth century. Some historical figures are well known to many and they deserve to be mentioned separately. In the first meny items you can find links to the short version of the Scottish history as well as to pages from these well known figures.
