Description:
Paterson's study of the origins of the Scottish people and language is a fascinating exploration of Scotland's early history. Drawing on historical and linguistic evidence, he argues that the Scots are descended from a Germanic tribe that migrated to Scotland in the 6th century. He also provides detailed analysis of the evolution of the Scottish language, from its earliest forms to the modern dialects spoken today.
