Hi,

there are two good books I could recommend, they are both available via Amazon.com:

One is "Historic Scotland - Celtic Scotland" by Ian Armit, the second is called "Alba: Celtic Scotland in the middle ages", written by E.J.Cowan.

Hope that helps,

Franziska

Thank you both for the replies. It was very helpful. And it is addictive!!!

Hi,

you are right, it is a bit dangerous: You could catch the "Scottish fever" and never be interested in anything else again ;=)

Have a nice sunday.

I do have a few other interests but seem to be trying to find ways that will tie them in with Scotland. Hehe

Would you happen to know if a plaid and tartan are the same, or if plaids are just fictional? In many books I've read ( fiction), the author refers to plaids. Yet, I haven't found any information in non-fiction books or websites about the topic.
Thanks for all your insight!!
