The Real Gorbals Story: True Tales from Glasgow's Meanest Streets from Mainstream Publishing Price: £6.99 Customer Review: Colin has captured the genuine feel of what may have been a physically run-down area but what the people turned into a tightly-knit community. To anyone growing up in 1950's or early 1960's Glasgow the Gorbals was an area to be avoided. These infamous slums however had a heart - the people of The... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Scotland: The Story of a Nation from HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Price: £10.49 Customer Review: I am only 100 pages in but am extremely satified with my purchase. I've recently moved to Scotland and wanted to brush up on my history. Magnusson's book is a fantastic read- very well-written and researched and engaging to read. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a broad overview.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Scottish Enlightenment: The Scots' Invention of the Modern World from Fourth Estate Price: £6.99 Customer Review: I am betwext and between with this book for the "Scottish Enlightenment" is one of my favourite periods in Scottish history.

6.		The Steel Bonnets: Story of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers from HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Price: £9.09 Customer Review: A wonderful history of a sadly overlooked part of English/Scottish history.

7.		The Life and Death of St. Kilda from HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Price: £6.99 Customer Review: There have been numerous books written about St Kilda and the evacuation. This work, and Charles McLean's 'Island on the Edge of the World' are probably the most comprehensive and best known.

8.		The Invention of Scotland: Myth and History from Yale University Press Price: £18.04 Customer Review: I read other reviews which said that this book was well-written and researched but I found it tedious in the extreme. Possibly because the manuscript was left unfinished almost 30 years ago, it's not exactly the most up to date comment on Scottish history either so I'm afraid I cannot recommend... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
