Scotland: A Global History with Murray Pittock and WIlliam Dalrymple | Ep 16

In the light of recent debates about Scotland’s voice and role in international affairs, join acclaimed historian, broadcaster, and author of The Anarchy, William Dalrymple, as he talks to Professor Murray Pittock, the Bradley Professor of Literature at the University of Glasgow, about Scotland’s role in the making of the modern world, as they discussed and unpick Pittock’s mesmerising book Scotland: The Global History: 1603 To the Present. 

 

Whether you're an expert in history or simply curious about Scotland's imprint and place in the world, both past and present, this erudite episode between two historians at the top of their game is for you. Hosted by Catherine Maxwell-Stuart from Traquair House, their deep dive into Scotland’s rich global history provides us with fresh insights not only into the shaping of the modern world and economy but how Scotland got to where it is today.
