Alba:
Celtic Scotland in the Medieval Era A group of distinguished
Scottish medievalists examines various aspects of the history
of Celtic or Gaelic-speaking Scotland from the sub-Roman period
to the sixteenth century. It is the first such volume to scrutinise
in detail the history of the Highlands and Islands incorporating
the most up-to-date research. It examines the evolution of the
idea of 'Celtic Scotland', tracing the historiography of the
Gaidhealtachd through the Caledonians, the Picts and the first
medieval writings in the area. It investigates such areas as
Galloway as well as surveying politics, culture and the church
in the context of the great medieval lordships such as those
of the Isles, Argyll, Moray and Ross and demonstrates how the
histories of such provinces were integrated into that of Scotland
at large. Alba.
