Scotland's Empire 1600-1815 | T.M. Devine | Penguin Books | 2004 | For its size, Scotland has had a huge influence on world affairs. The British Empire depended on the many Scots soldiers, explorers, scientists and traders who ventured to North America, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, the Caribbean and Australasia. Their exploits ensured that peoples around the world had heard of our small nation. Some of these travellers` deeds are held in high esteem; other deeds, such as involvement in the slave trade, are shameful episodes. This is the story of how the Scots played a role in empire building and how that affected Scotland. | 1431 |

Mary of Guise in Scotland, 1548-1560: A Political Study | Pamela E. Ritchie | Tuckwell Press | 2004 | Mary of Guise (1515-60) was from the powerful French family of Guise and she married the Scottish King James V in 1538. James died in 1542 and Mary became Regent for her daughter, the future Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary was a skilled political operator, using her position to further French interests at a time when England also had designs on Scotland. Her intrigues involved using anti-English feelings to bolster her position and that of her daughter (who later married the French dauphin). She also had to contend with the change in English ruler (when Elizabeth I became queen) and the increasing strength of the Protestants, ably egged on by John Knox. This is the story of her life in Scotland. | 1410 |

Watson | Birlinn | 2004 | Originally published in 1926, this guide to Celtic place-names in Scotland describes the derivation of many names around the country.

Inhabited Solitude: Scotland - Land and People | James McCarthy | Luath Press | 2004 | The Scots as a nation have been shaped by the land we live in: the indented coastline, the islands and the mountains all affect the nature of the local communities. In addition, we affect the nature of the land: farming, mining and the growth of towns all have a significant bearing on the landscape. This study looks at these issues and associated topics such as land ownership and conservation. | 1401 |
