Few would have the knowledge or the confidence to tackle the entire scope of this topic but William Ferguson is well endowed on both counts... The crowning achievement of a distinguished career. -- Edward J. Cowan It is definitely a study which stands for erudition and scholarship of an outstanding quality!The study delineates the whole concept of the origin-myths of Scotland and shows in a clear and convicing way the efforts of authors through the ages to present Scotland with a history that would make Scotland as ancient a nation as possible.
