a must for writers of the period or people wanting a source

This book is just what it says, a listing of Scottish Historical Documents starting with Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the early 8th Century and moving up to 1707 with the Articles of Union. All Major Documents are included, such as the Letter of Barons of Scotland to Pope John XXII in 1320 - known more commonly as the Declaration of Arbroath, to even the lesser known Statues of Iona in 1609. Over 240 documents are dealt with, from all aspects of Scots' History, covering education, settles of succession, the poor acts, Kirk matters, land tenure, crown rentals, and constitutional changes. Note are kept brief.So people wanting to know more of Scotland's history and without access to ancient documents, or writers of Scottish fiction, this book is a MUST.
