SCOTLAND:The Making and Unmaking of the NationC.1100-1707VOLUME 5MAJOR DOCUMENTSThis is one of a five-volume series, Scotland: The Making and Unmaking of the Nation, c.1100-1707. Volumes 1 and 3 were published in 200, and volumes 2, 4 and 5 in 2007 for the 300th anniversary of the parliamentary union of Scotland with England.The series shows the importance of Scottish relationships and involvement in a broader European story, and aims to dispel long-established myths and preconceptions about the Scottish past which still exert a firm grip on general opinion, even in a post-devolution era.This is a companion series to the earlier Modern Scottish History: 1707 to the Present published in 1998 as a collaboration between the University of Dundee and the Open University in Scotland. Written by leading academics for the Distance Learning course run by the two universities, the series is aimed also at a wide readership – anyone with a serious interest in Scottish history – and presents the fruits of the latest research in a readable style. The volumes can be read singly, or as a series.The title of the new series is designed to provoke but need not be taken to indicate a nationalist view of 1707 as a moment of eclipse. Scotland’s history, like all histories, resists simple generalisations. Were it otherwise, its study would not be so rewarding.Caroline Erskine is Teaching Fellow in Modern History at the University of St Andrews, Alan MacDonald is Lecturer in Scottish History at the University of Dundee, and Michael Penman is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of StirlingThe cover illustration shows the Declaration of Arbroath, sp13/7© National Archives of ScotlandDesign by James Hutcheson[DUP logo]
