The Myth of the Medieval Burgh Community’ -- 12 ‘Aberdeen before 1800: The Medieval Market, c.1400-1550’ -- 13 ‘The People in the Towns’ -- 14 ‘The Scottish Medieval Pottery Industry: A Pilot Study’ -- 15 ‘Dogs, Cats and Horses in the Scottish Medieval Town’ -- 16 ‘The Nobility’ -- 17 ‘Early Church Architecture in Scotland’ -- 18 ‘St Rule’s Church, St Andrews, and Early Stone-Built Churches in Scotland’ -- 19 ‘Introduction’ (in his Literary Practice and Social Change in Britain 1380-1530) -- 20 ‘The Ideology of Blood: Blind Hary’s Wallace’ -- 21 ‘Scotichronicon’s First Readers’ -- 22 ‘Politics and Poetry in Fifteenth and Sixteenth Century Scotland’
Summary: Scotland: The Making and Unmaking of the Nation, c.1100-1707 aims to show the importance of Scotland’s relationships to Europe and its part in a broader European story, as well as to dispel long-established myths and preconceptions which continue to exert a firm grip on public opinion. Especially in a post-devolution era, Scottish history and Scotland deserve better than this.Scotland: The Making and Unmaking of the Nation, c.1100-1707 is certainly designed to provoke but need not be taken to indicate a nationalist view of 1707 as a moment of eclipse. Scotland’s history, like all histories, resists simple generalisations. Were it otherwise, its study would not be so rewarding.
