Who will like this book: writers composing historical fiction, Scots seeking to understand politics in a historical context, non-Scots who want to delve past the gloss of Scots tourism into a serious look at Scotland.
Mitchison was an academic historian who brought a different world view to Scots history in a landscape where historians had focused on the act of union, the Scots reformation, and the bonny prince.
This particular book takes a broad historic sweep of Scots history by breaking up time into 2 basic before/after pictures and 6 lenses to inspect Scotland from the early 1600s to the time of the book, 1978)
Her particular areas of expertise show up in detailed work: women in Scots society, the Poor Laws and the impact of grinding poverty, the class systems through time, starvation and malnutrition across decades in the Highlands and in the Glasgow of the Industrial Revolution.
As a historian, Mitchison sees the Clearances in a more factual light than the popular versions, but she also sees how pervasive Scots myth surrounding the Clearances affects current grievances and convictions (e.g., the English burned out the Highlanders to create hunting preserves). Her final chapter delves into the messy frames and views of current Scots life and is worth the price of the book by itself.
