This volume focuses on examining the condition of Scotland from various perspectives, including its political and social structures, especially in relation to the influence of loyalty and superstition throughout its history. The text aims to shed light on the complex interplay between the monarchy, nobility, clergy, and the common citizens. At the start of this volume, Buckle contrasts the histories of Scotland and Spain, suggesting that while Spain experienced rapid but ultimately destructive political progress, Scotland's development has been slow but steady. He discusses the various invasions Scotland faced from the Romans, Irish, Norwegians, and English, and how these invasions stunted the growth of towns and empowered the nobility. Buckle highlights the unique qualities of the Scottish character, marked by a lack of allegiance to their kings coupled with a submissiveness to the authority of their clergy, ultimately leading to an exploration of the great anomalies in Scottish history. Throughout this exploration, he establishes the significance of geography and social conditions that have shaped the national character of Scotland.
