Answer by guiri Yes.
Magnus Magnusson did a good history of Scotland that is surprisingly readable. ‘Scotland , The story of a Nation’, ISBN 978-0-00-653191-3 at 16 pounds. Magnusson wrote a number of good history books.
Antonia Fraser wrote a good biography on Mary Queen of Scots.
You can also find books on the kings and queens of Scotland in some bargain bookshops.

The west coast of Barbados is known as a favorite winter destination for British tourists, ranging from the upmarket Sandy Lane resort to the all-drinks-included package holiday crowd arriving by economy class. Many will come from Scotland, but few will realise that just fourteen miles away on the rocky east side of the island live a community of McCluskies, Sinclairs and Baileys who are not, as might be expected, black Bajans bearing the family names given by slave owners centuries ago, but poor whites eking out a subsistence existence. Known as the Redlegs, they are the direct descendants of the Scots transported to Barbados by Cromwell after the Civil War. Scottish author and broadcaster Chris Dolan went to meet them to discover why they are still here 350 years later, what they know about their roots, and what their prospects are today when they are the poorest community on the island. Chris speaks to leading historians in Barbados and Scotland about how their ancestors were treated when they first arrived. Was their plight as severe as that of the black slaves from Africa? Nearly two centuries after emancipation, this Redleg community has yet to find a role on the island, where it is damned by association with the days of slavery, even though many of its forbears were victims themselves. In recent years, it has begun to come out of its racial isolation; could there yet be a hopeful future for this lost Scottish tribe? Video Rating: 5 / 5
A question from : Question about Scottish names?
Did you ever notice names like MacQueen MacLeon etc? Why are the letters Q and L capitalized? What does “Mac” stand for?
Selected answer:
Answer by SerenemStarsailor Mac means ‘son of’, so MacQueen would mean The son of Queen and MacLeon would be ‘The son of Leon’ and MacEverret would be the son of Everret. Essentially they are two separate words so both parts are capitalitized.

A question from wildcatpike: Can you add someone to your St. Andrews tee time on the day of?
I am planning a month long golf trip in Scotland – planning and booking on my own. I will use an operator for a 4 ball in St. Andrews to get a gauranteed tee time, but I only have 3 confirmed players now – as not to lose out on the tee time, I want to book it now… if I only end up with 3 (but have to pre-pay for 4) can I pick up any single that’s waiting to play and have them pay me directly for the round I pre-paid for?
The No 1 answer:
Answer by wbaker777 I’d advise contacting the operator….He may be able to arrange to have a 4th for you. It would be certainly advantageous rather than having a controversy on the first tee. Details might be worked out well in advance.
A question from dresdendroog: David vs. Donald (Goliath) ?
Well, if anyone cared to watch Yahoo News, Donald trump is attempting to create a massive golf resort in Scotland. It’s acclaimed to be “the greatest ever”. He has all the property ready, all except for 23 acres owned by a stubborn local which happens to be in the middle of the resort. His housing situation isn’t conventionally beautiful, which poses a threat that the greatest golf course will have an ‘eyesore’ right in the middle of it. I personally back David 100%, what a great story of someone standing up to a tycoon and proving that money doesn’t begin to compare to sentimental belonging. Anyone who agrees, put in your two cents worth and let’s support David!
Selected answer:
Answer by MissKitty What I don’t understand is, given all his money, why did he not check out the property before he got so involved? He must have known not everyone was going to cave and sell their property, he should have looked at property that was less inhabited.
And now that he knows this guy is not going to sell why does he not make alternative plans? He has no choice now anyway.
