Summary

"Celtic Scotland: A History of Ancient Alban. Volume 2 (of 3), Church and Culture" by William F. Skene is a historical exploration of the early Celtic Church's impact on Scotland. Skene investigates the church's cultural influence and the difficulties of tracing its beginnings. Narrated free from bias, the book explores the setting for these churches, specifically the time after the Romans left Britain, and how connections to Europe were rebuilt. The book examines key individuals like Saint Ninian and explains how Christianity took root among the Picts and Scots. Skene highlights just how complex the early church history is in Scotland, including disputes over Easter traditions. The initial chapters suggest an in-depth look at these important people and how the Celtic Church evolved to shape Scottish society.
