{"product_id":"shortest-history-of-scotland","title":"Shortest History of Scotland","description":"Scotland is one of the oldest nations in Europe. Its territory has remained fundamentally unchanged since the fifteenth century, and its southern border with England has barely altered- with the exception of Berwick and a few square kilometres of 'debatable' land - since 1237. And yet Scotland - a country with a global brand - is not a state at all. \u003ci\u003eThe Shortest History of Scotland\u003c\/i\u003e argues that its very ambiguity is what has made the nation a central part of the global story.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Starting at the very beginning with a Scotland before Scotland - a tribal society connected closely by sea to Ireland, before becoming a place defined by being the part of an island beyond the Roman wall - Pittock ranges with dazzling expertise through the defining episodes of Scottish history up to the present.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Shortest History of Scotland","offer_id":45292165660869,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/shortest-history-of-scotland","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
