About This Book

A detailed chronological account traces Scotland's domestic affairs from the post-Reformation era through the Revolution, organized by successive reigns. It recounts political measures, ecclesiastical policies, and social reactions, examining disputes over church endowments, the introduction of liturgy, tensions between episcopal authority and presbyterian practice, punitive trials, and episodes of popular resistance. The narrative links administrative decisions, parliamentary actions, and military levies to wider religious and constitutional conflict, and intersperses descriptive notes and illustrations with annalistic entries and an index to aid reference.
