Great combination of books
[...]The initial section presents a striking contrast to other European nations, highlighting Scotland’s rich and profound history. Unlike many regions of the Roman Empire, Scotland was largely unaffected by Roman influence, setting it apart from the rest of Europe. This part of the book seeks to delve into the complexities of Scotland’s historical narrative.The latter section offers an entertaining anthology of Scottish mythology, which shares similarities with Celtic traditions. It provides context on the Celts, whose influence is deeply woven into the Scottish landscape. This compilation features themes of witchcraft, dark magic, and spectral figures, all of which are significant in Scottish folklore, underscoring moral teachings and societal values.The writing style is captivating, merging academic depth with a conversational approach that encourages readers to engage more deeply with the content.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
