Summary "A Short History of Scotland" by Andrew Lang is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores Scotland's past, beginning with the Roman invasion under General Agricola and detailing the various conflicts and cultural developments that shaped the nation through the ages. It aims to provide readers with an understanding of Scotland's rich history and its evolution as a distinct nation. The opening of the book sets the stage for Scotland's early history, illustrating the landscape encountered by the Romans and describing the society of the time, characterized by Late Celtic culture. Lang describes the indigenous people as possessing advanced skills in warfare and agriculture, living in well-structured communities. He emphasizes the artistic achievements of the Scots, familiar through accounts such as Irish epics, and outlines the impact of Roman military campaigns. As the narrative progresses, it hints at the subsequent interactions and conflicts that arose between the Romans and the local tribes, laying the foundation for the historical events that will unfold throughout the book.
