History

Seallaidhean à Eachdraidh – As the title indicates, these are snapshots from history which give the opportunity to look at six separate topics, from Skara Brae in the Stone Age to the Union of the Parliaments of Scotland and England in 1707. The topics were chosen because each one has been extremely important in the history of Scotland, including events which have shaped the development of the country and affect it to this day.

Càirdeas Eadar-nàiseanta – The series of appealing books Eachdraidh dhan Ìre Choitchinn was written especially for pupils engaged in courses at Standard Grade and they cover a wide range of history.

An Seann Saoghal – In this book we learn about people, communities and events during Ancient Times – from Scotland’s first people to the orderly world of the Celts; from the influence and ideas of Rome and Greece to the civilised days of the Chinese. In this book the reader will discover for him/herself the evidence which helped historians get to know about the people who lived long ago.

Linn nan Caochlaidhean Mòra (Imprint/Stòrlann) – In this book you will learn about people, communities and events in the Age of Revolutions. You will learn about the Jacobite uprisings in the Highlands of Scotland and about the introduction of radical changes that affected the industrial and agricultural landscapes of Britain. You will also learn about political issues that ended British rule in America and about important events that brought to an end the old way of life in France, leaving the ruling classes throughout the rest of Europe living in fear.
