This attractive book presents Scotland's past in a new way. The broad sweep of Monica Clough's readable text covers the whole history of the Scottish nation, from the earliest times to the Industrial Revolution. The book is illustrated throughout by Willie Rodger's powerful and unusual linocut illustrations.
The Field of Thistles offers a very approachable, but slightly different, view of Scottish history and it would be a striking and unusual memento of this very special country.
 

Monica Clough is a former lecturer in History at Stirling University, and is presently engaged on a major piece of historical research.

Willie Rodger is well known for his-woodcut and linocut prints, and for his line drawings. He is a member of the Glasgow Group, and has exhibited with the Royal Scottish Academy and the Printmakers' Workshop as well as in one-man shows.
