Nigel Tranter makes Scottish history so interesting you wish his books had been part of the school curriculum.

In The Clansman, he explores the persona of Roy Roy and the politics affecting the MacGregor clan. The books reads like fiction, yet it is based in truth.

Tranter has written other books about the MacGregors, about Robert the Bruce, about Montrose, and many more. He is prolific, and he turns history into entertainment.

Are you a history buff? Does Scottish history interest you?

To her surprise and dismay, the old woman had roused from her fireside dozing when she entered the room and had insisted on regaling her with more tales of the foibles and weaknesses of the aristocracy as Ginette helped her undress.

Thinking back on it, she realized there had been a subtle urgency in the manner of the viscountess. Indeed, now that she recalled her months as maid-cum-companion, she recognized that she had felt yet dismissed a sense of impendence. At first, she had wondered was it she who anticipated something vaguely threatening, or was it Lady Barton who expected some event? Now, a certainty filled her that Lady Barton’s choosing to employ her signified much more than she had guessed.
