As KeepYourPowderDry starts to have a very Scottish feel to it, where better to start than with a summer reading list? So You Want To Know About Scots Armies? link

Looks intriguing! I just got and read Reid's earlier book from Partizen Press. If there is more to know then I'd like to know it. |

There isn't really much to be honest. Reid's Great Rebellion is the best version of a book that has 3 incarnations. Reid's recent flags at Preston and Dunbar is brilliant. Furgol's Regimental Histories applies the CH Frith NMA formula to the Covenanters, then really apart from How The Scots Won the English Civil War there isn't anything else that looks at the minutae of the Scottish military. There's a few commentaries on the great and good, and a couple of good battle books but that's your lot. Furgol's 2nd edition of Regimental Histories and his new co-authored Royalist Scots volume are floating around somewhere. They were to be published by Helion, but are not going to be now I believe. |

Furgol's book on the Royalist Scots seems to have completely disappeared. As KYPD says, it was certainly listed with Helion for awhile and then vanished. I've seen pictures of the cover but every link I follow leads to a dead end. Would like to find a copy if it truly is in print. |

Just picked up Stevenson's Scottish Covenanters and Irish Confederates quite cheap from Amazon. Will report back. It covers Monros Covenanters in Ulster. |

That's on my 'to buy at some point' list Tim. Good to hear what you think of it. |
