Spoiled by awful narration.

I love Scottish history but had to stop listening due to the narrator. You can forgive a non native for mispronouncing the more difficult terms, but i can't listen to someone calling the Hebrides the "heh-brides" or the Lothians the "Lohth-eye-ans". I spent most of my time trying to figure out the narration rather than listen to the story.

Horrible audible performance due to incorrect pronunciation of many Scottish words/places/names

This book would have been fantastic had it not been performed by an American who has pronounced every Scottish town, city and most names wrong. Very frustrating to listen to when you are Scottish.

All in all.. this does not make this a bad book, but the pronunciation is to me a large part of scottish dialect.
