Brief survey; needs sound editing

This was an entertaining, if very superficial, skip through Scottish history. If you are going to read only one Scottish history, I recommend selecting something else.
Part of the first couple of chapters seemed to have missed basic sound editing as the narrator repeated parts and corrected pronunciation of some words. The narrator had a pleasant voice, but his accent and occasional odd pronunciation made him a surprising choice for a book about Scotland.
