Reviews
'An exhilarating, big-picture, and often surprising account of Scottish art'
Andrew Marr
'Even more of a joy than the glorious Scottish art it celebrates … A feast for the mind’s eye'
Simon Schama
'Moving and personal … the definitive guide to Scottish art'
Bendor Grosvenor
'Not only does this book prove that few people know more about Scottish art than Lachlan Goudie, but that no one else cares more. A masterful panorama of art history, and an utterly compelling account of how a nation has seen, and continues to see, itself'
