Presented by Neil Oliver, A History of Scotland is a television series
first broadcast in November 2008 on BBC One Scotland and later shown
UK-wide on BBC Two during January 2009.
Episode 4 - Language is Power
At one time, Gaelic Scotland - the people and the language - was
central to the identity of Scots. But as Oliver reveals, Scotland's
infamous Highland/Lowland divide was the result of a family struggle
that divided the kingdom. This is the story of how the policies of the
Stewart royal family in the 15th century led to the Gaels being
perceived as rebels and outsiders.
