It offers coverage of specific areas, as well as an overview of development across the region. It is organised into three comprehensive sections: the historical, socio-economic and environmental.

This is the first book to take a comprehensive view of the historical geography of Scotland since the Union. The book contains a number of original researches and Dr Turnock attempts to set the Scottish experience in a framework of general ideas on modernisation.
