Reviews for The Price of Scotland
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An intriguing account of Scotland's misguided attempt to colonise Darién in Panama led to Scotland's Parliament agreeing to join a Union with England's. Watt gives you a real feel for the main actors of the time and writes in an engaging way. Definitely not a dry history book.
