Over 500,000 [[words]] in length, and written by more than 70 distinguished contributors, the ''Oxford Companion to Scottish History'' aims to cover more than 20 centuries of [[history]], and interpret history broadly, covering areas such as [[archaeology]], [[climate]], [[culture]], languages, immigration, migration, and emigration. Multi-authored entries analyse key themes such as national identity, women and society, living standards, and religious [[belief]] across the centuries in an [[authoritative]] yet approachable way. The A-Z entries are complemented by maps, genealogies, a glossary, a chronology, and an extensive guide to further reading.
More than a historical dictionary or encyclopedia, the Companion’s coverage extends from [[Orkney]] and [[Shetland]] to [[Galloway]], from the [[Western Isle]]s to the Borders, includes historical personalities such as [[Columba]], [[Macbeth]], and William Wallace, and stands alone - when compared to its competitors - in providing [[analysis]] of issues such as national [[identity]] and living standards and by offering [[readers]] a broader range of topics and approaches. An essential and [[authoritative]] reference source for students and academics of Scottish, British, Irish, and European history, and related fields, it will also appeal to interested general readers, including members of the [[Scottish Diaspora]] - in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the US.
