War opened and closed Scotlands greatest century: a pitiless part in the defeat of Naploeon in 1815, a huge blood-sacrifice for the sake
of victory from 1914. In between came the greatest contributions to the progress and happiness of the rest of mankind that the Scots
have ever made in everything from the combine harvester to the mackintosh to anaesthesia. It was a supremely successful achieving
society yet one not without deep flaws, in its urban poverty, its destruction of the environment, its religious intolerance, its moral hypocrisy,
its crushing of Highland culture.
