Шотландия всегда находилась в тени могущественной южной соседки Англии, в борьбе с которой на протяжении многих столетий страна пыталась отстоять собственную независимость. Это соседство, ставшее причиной бесчисленных кровопролитных сражений, определило весь ход шотландской истории. И даже сегодня битва продолжается — уже не вооруженная, а экономическая, политическая, спортивная.

Впрочем, борьбой с Англией история Шотландии вовсе не исчерпывается; в ней немало своеобычных ярких и трагических страниц, о которых и рассказывает автобиография этой удивительной страны, одновременно романтической и суровой, сдержанной и праздничной, печальной и веселой.

Персональные благодарности

Мои искренние благодарности всей семье, друзьям и коллегам, которые помогли мне бесценными советами, в особенности — Крису Долану, Аллану Хантеру, Анджеле Лоринс, Барклаю Макбейну и Хью Макдональду. Сотрудники читального зала и шотландского отдела Эдинбургской центральной библиотеки неизменно оказывали мне помощь, также как работники Национальной библиотеки Шотландии, кафедры истории в Хаддингтоне и Британского музея гольфа. Спасибо также Эндрю Марру за то, что указал мне на книги Агнесс Мур Маккензи; Ричарду Демарко, Джену Леману, Конраду Уилсону, Стюарту Аллану из Национального музея Шотландии и Джеймсу Робертсону — за то, что познакомил меня с Захарией Маколеем. Джуди Мойр, мой редактор, неизменно поддерживала и вдохновляла меня, была неиссякаемым источником идей и здравых советов, а литературный редактор Хэлен Кэмпбелл была утонченно-дотошна. И больше всего я благодарю Аллана Тейлора.
