Scotland bloody Scotland - Baron of Ravenstone

With castle after castle falling to the Scots resistance armies north of the Forth, the English army advanced to Stirling bridge, where, inconceivably, it was cut to pieces by the wild Scots rabble, with their little shields, scant armour, dirks and lochaber shields. It was the first time ever that the Scots had defeated an English feudal army. Take a romp through Scotland's history the easy way. To know Scotland's past is to understand the country and its people. Standing stones, Robert the Bruce, Mary, Queen of Scots, William Wallace, the Jacobite Rebellions, all are here, copiously illustrated with irreverent cartoons by the Baron himself. Scotland, Bloody Scotland has now sold over 40,000 copies. It was originally published by Canongate.
