Scotland's dramatic history spans 8,000 years, years marked by invasions and independence, wars and religious upheavals, intrigues and subjugation. Such a history has left its mark on the nation's psyche - and its landscape - and has contributed in no small way to the fierce pride with which the Scots view themselves and their country today.
