It is the hope of the revisers that they have combined piety with discrimination in a way which enhances the great merit of this well-known book. John Duncan Mackie CBE MC (18871978) was a distinguished Scottish historian who wrote a one-volume history of Scotland and several works on early modern Scotland.

Lenman is Emeritus Professor of Modern History at the University of St. Andrews and an Honorary Professor at the University of Dundee. Noel Geoffrey Parker FRHistS FBA (born 25 December 1943) is an English historian specializing in the history of Western Europe, Spain, and warfare during the early modern era. His best known book is The Military Revolution: Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 15001800. He holds his BA, MA, Ph.D., and LittD degrees from Cambridge University. Parker has taught at the University of Illinois, the University of St Andrews, and Yale University. He is currently the Andreas Dorpalen Professor of History at the Ohio State University. "Comprehensive, thoroughly indexed, and full of learning."--The Times Educational Supplement. A history that is equally entertaining and enlightening, illustrating all of the changes of power and intricacies that are necessary to understand the interrelation between England and Scotland and the Highland and Lowland populations. It shows how Duncan (1034-40) emerged from 'the union of the four peoples' as the first king of a united Scotland and provides detailed, reign-by-reign accounts from then on. Above all Professor Mackie reveals how the Scots long pursued an independent line - in religion, law, culture and foreign policy - that helped them keep at bay the Romans, the French and the English.
