These essays reveal the impact of the centralization process on education and the source of Scottish myth of quality education, which is useful for understanding Scottish identity…The volume also sheds light on Scotland's educational history and the various reforming movements that shaped it over time.'

- Marjorie Hopkins, University of Guelph, International Review of Scottish Studies

This is an excellent book. It challenges several preconceptions about education in Scotland and provides an authoritative and interesting account of many aspects of its history. It will be immensely valuable to historians of education and to students within Scotland and beyond.

Pamela Munn, Emeritus Professor of Curriculum Research, University of Edinburgh

The distinctiveness and influence of Scotland’s educational institutions have played a significant role in the construction of national identity. This book investigates the origins and evolution of the main institutions of Scottish education, bringing together a range of scholars, each an expert on his or her own period, and with interests including – but also ranging beyond – the history of education. From the medieval period to the modern, this book provides a broad picture of Scottish educational history, while also highlighting some areas of particular interest. It is an important reference work for historians and students of education within and beyond Scotland, and essential background reading for teachers and policy-makers. It is also a significant book for anyone interested in the development of modern Scotland, its culture and institutions.
