A complimentary site to the BBC's new ten-part series that explores the history of Scotland, this site offers a plethora of information which can be arranged and viewed according to users' preferences. Visitors to the site can choose to view resources about "the nature of Scottish national identity" by sifting through related topics, exploring time periods, reading a variety of personal histories of those who contributed to Scottish culture, or browsing by place (including BBC television regions!). Public records, historic documents, oral histories, and photographs contribute to making this site useful and intriguing. Navigation is a bit tricky, and getting back to where you started can sometimes be a challenge, but all in all, the site is well worth investigation.
