Edinburgh University Press, 2007 - History - 384 pages

During this period, Scotland first emerged on the stage of history. Beginning with the Christian kingdoms of Northumbria and Pictavia, which dominated northern Britain, Alex Woolf describes the collapse of the Old Order under the Vikings, the rise of Alba, the Gaelic-speaking kingdom, and first contact with the kingdom of England.

The most unbiased look at a very misty century in Scotland's history. Woolf's book has aided my studies of especially the years 840-890. I'd recommend it to any scholarly searcher of Scottish history.

Review: From Pictland to Alba, 789-1070

User Review  - Olivia-Petra Coman - Goodreads

I do not agree with some linguistic-related statements concerning the Balkans or with the perspective applied in analysing Scottish history based on Icelandic sagas, but it's a great work and it certainly raises a lot of questions! Read full review
