A wonderfully, thought provoking book on the history of witches primarily in Scotland but also its effects and roots from other countries. Brilliantly researched and written in a way that won't make you feel like you are sitting in some boring history class. As always, A bonus for me, it comes with pictures and some great illustrations.

A true must have and pack guide for exploring the beautifully haunting and gorgeous landscape that is Scotland, in particular Edinburgh. I've always wanted to travel there and reading this companion makes me visualize like I'm already there.
The descriptions and photographs are stunning and I know don't do seeing them in person justice. But for now, this is the closest I'll get to Scotland and I'm alright with that. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to travel and wants to scout out Edinburgh as a destination to visit!

According to Simon Elliott, Gnaeus Julius Agricola was Roman Britain’s greatest warrior governor. Perhaps. It is a bold statement and one that drives Elliott’s analysis in his latest book, Agricola in Scotland. Elliott sets up the imperial context for Agricola’s governorship of Britain, from 77 to 83 CE, while along the way he describes many of the elements behind that fascinating story of conquest. Elliott begins with some Roman history 101, providing general context for the empire and the provinces, particularly Britain. This includes a glossary of key terms used in the book. After a chapter with an overview of the Republic and Principate Empire, Elliott digs into the Roman military system, again working from the most basic level. This covers the Legions and Auxiliaries, their weapons and armour, and the regional fleets. He moves onto a general description of Roman Britain in the later First Century CE, including its geography, which would prove so important in Agricola’s campaigns... Read more
