Needs a lot more, decent start though

For students trying to learn Higher history in Scotland, this is an alright textbook, laying down the main framework of the topics, but it does not cover nearly enough detail for the construction of a decent, passing essay. I studied most of the topics in this textbook and there are many more resources that I had to use along with it. It has some good pictures and sources like that, but the main text is lacking.

Also, I spent a good deal of time wondering why on earth there were random historical accounts and opinions from somebody called "John Kerr". Only after staring at the front cover did I realise it was obviously a relation to the author. Not exactly the best historical account to quote in an essay...

Conclusion: This shouldn't be used on its own as a resource. Don't be afraid to branch out and dig up other related information as this only provides the bare facts most of the time.
