From Neolithic settlers and Vikings to Jacobites and World War II evacuees, discover how Scotland's places connect to the nation's rich history. This brilliant atlas is packed with fascinating historical facts and amazing illustrations.
Did you know that long ago Scotland was buried under a layer of ice one kilometre thick? That Orkney's neolithic village of Skara Brae is older than the Great Pyramid in Egypt? Or that, in order to take back Roxburgh Castle, Robert the Bruce's soldiers disguised themselves as cows?

From Neolithic settlers and Viking invaders, to Jacobite rebels, great Enlightenment thinkers and World War II evacuees, this fun and fascinating historical atlas takes readers on a tour through time and place. Discover how Scotland's islands, Highlands, cities, castles and crofts connect to the most amazing moments in this nation's rich history.

Packed with interesting and informative facts from David MacPhail, and brilliantly vibrant illustrations by Anders Frang, An Amazing Illustrated History Atlas of Scotland will bring history to life for young readers.
