Summary "Celtic Scotland: A History of Ancient Alban" by William F. Skene is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the early civil history, ethnology, and the complex cultural landscape of ancient Scotland, known as Alban, during the Celtic period. This meticulous exploration aims to sift through historical inaccuracies to present a clearer picture of Scotland's early historical narratives. At the start of the book, the author outlines the challenging task of revisiting early Scottish history by critically evaluating the sources and narratives that have long been accepted. He expresses a desire to discard the elaborate but often inaccurate histories constructed by earlier writers, such as John of Fordun, in favor of a more authentic representation based on trustworthy authorities. The initial chapters introduce key historical events such as the Roman invasions and the political landscape of ancient Britain, establishing the groundwork for a nuanced discussion of the various tribes and their interactions with one another and with invading forces.
