This is one of those books you buy, when you are in a wonderful place (Edinburgh in my case) and want to understand and belong there for a while; but back at home loses some of it's fascination. It was more interesting in the first half, tracing the genetic markers of the prehistoric peoples; but fizzled out a bit towards the final third of the book. Perhaps this is because in genetic time terms, recent history (from the last millenium) is all a bit inconclusive. Overall though, interesting, if not quite as full of promise as I imbued it with in Blackwells bookshop Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
History has always mattered to Scots, and rarely more so than now at the outset of a new century, with a new census appearing in 2011 and after more than ten years of a new parliament. An almost limitless archive of our history lies hidden inside our bodies and we carry the ancient story of Scotland around with us. The mushrooming of genetic studies, of DNA analysis, is rewriting our history in spectacular fashion.In The Scots: A Genetic Journey, Alistair Moffat explores the history that is printed on our genes, and in a remarkable new approach, uncovers the detail of where we are from, who we are and in so doing colour vividly a DNA map of Scotland.
