Covering thousands of years, this book traces the island’s journey from its prehistoric settlers and Viking rulers, through centuries of feudal lordship, to its modern status as a proud, self-governing nation.

The island's ancient origins and archaeological heritage
The era of Viking conquest and the legacy of the Crovan dynasty
The political intrigues of feudal lords and the Revestment to the British Crown
