The People's Historian APRIL 2017 The Scots A Genetic Journey Alistair Moffat is a former Director of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Director of Programmes at Scottish Television. He now runs the Borders and Lennoxlove book festivals and is currently Rector of St Andrews University. He has written numerous books, including Tuscany, The Faded Map, The Sea Kingdoms, The Borders and The Scots: A Genetic Journey, all of which are published by Birlinn. History has always mattered to Scots, and rarely more so than now at the outset of a new century, after more than ten years of a new parliament and the new census of 2011. An almost limitless archive of our history lies hidden inside our bodies and we carry the ancient story of Scotland around with us. The mushrooming of genetic studies, of DNA analysis, is rewriting our history in spectacular fashion. This new edition takes into account recent developments in DNA science and includes recent findings on early farming and its migrations, Neanderthal DNA, the classic Celtic DNA Y chromosome haplogroup, the royal Stewart lineages, and physical characteristics such as red hair and blue eyes. ‘[Moffat] is wonderfully able to communicate the epic elements of the story – which matters because that’s precisely what man’s survival has been’ – The Scotsman 'A fascinating picture' – James Naughtie, Today Programme BBC Radio 4 Format: 198 x 129mm B-pbk ISBN: 9781780274447 Price: £9.99 Extent: 272pp Illustrations: 8pp colour plates April 2017 38 'The fusion of science and the physical history – like an abandoned croft – allows people to trace their Scots ancestry with precision’ – Sunday Herald PREVIOUS EDITION SOLD OVER 12,000 COPIES
