About This Book

This unique "fusion of science and the physical history" traces the story of the Scots through their DNA ( Sunday Herald ). An almost limitless archive of our history lies hidden inside our bodies, and this book traces the ancient story of Scotland from that scientific viewpoint. The mushrooming of genetic studies, of DNA analysis, is rewriting history in spectacular fashion. In Scotland: A Genetic Journey, Alistair Moffat explores the history that is printed on our genes, and in a remarkable new approach, uncovers the detail of where Scots are from, where they have journeyed, and who they are—and in so doing, vividly colors in a DNA map of Scotland. "[Moffat] is wonderfully able to communicate the epic elements of the story." — Scotsman
