AN OUTLINE OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND (500-1707) BY ROBERT S. RAIT FELLOW OF NEW COLLEGE, OXFORD LONDON BLACKIE & SON, LIMITED, 50 OLD BAILEY, E.C. GLASGOW AND DUBLIN 1901 PREFATORY NOTE I desire to take this opportunity of acknowledging valuable aid derived from the recent works on Scottish History by Mr. Hume Brown and Mr. Andrew Lang, from Mr. E.W. Robertson's _Scotland under her Early Kings_, and from Mr. Oman's _Art of War_. Personal acknowledgments are due to Professor Davidson of Aberdeen, to Mr. H. Fisher, Fellow of New College, and to Mr. J.T.T. Brown, of Glasgow, who was good enough to aid me in the search for references to the Highlanders in Scottish mediaeval literature, and to give me the benefit of his great knowledge of this subject.
