In reply to girlymonkey:
For a 'highland-centric' view of Scottish history look at the books by James Hunter, some might be available as audio books. I also have a book of Scottish history by the late Magnus Magnusson which I suspect was linked to a TV series - maybe the series is still available on Youtube or as a DVD ?
edit to add - out of curiosity, I searched for the possible tv series but couldn't find one
