Scotland's Black Death The Foul Death of the English by Karen Jillings

Scotland's Black Death The Foul Death of the English by Karen Jillings one of those areas which for some reason seams to be passed by in history books. The effect of the Black death on Scotland. In most books on the Black death Scotland is barely mentioned the author attempts to remedy this.

This is social history which I'm not particularly fond of however this book describes things in am interesting manner avoiding much of the mindnumbing statistics that seemed to be in vogue these days.

One of the key points of her argument is that the Black death was not the disease that it has been thought of four many years. This evidence when it first came out seemed to be very sketchy but the author makes a good case for it.

An interesting book which will hopefully spark more discussion on the topic.
