History written by the victors?
The BBC are very proud to announce a brand spanking new history portal for Scotland www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/history please take a moment to compare and contrast with the English history portal www.bbc.co.uk/england/history.
The BBC have produced two epic series covering Scottish history in the past 12 months: The five part A history of Scotland with another series on the way, Scotland’s Clans – which is in its second series. Not to mention The Scots Who Made the Modern World etc
Number of programs made about English history in the last 12 months or 12 years for that matter? Anyone likely to visit this page will already know the answer.
It seems that as far as the BBC are concerned a country with no present has no history.
