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.
