Where may I find the Early Sources of Scottish History, and the Scottish
Annals of the English Chroniclers? Would The Dictionary of National
Biography be a good source to check?
Thanks

Alan Orr Anderson, _The Early Sources of Scottish History, AD 500 to
1286_ (1922; reprint 1990); and _Scottish Annals from English
Chroniclers, AD 500 to 1286_ (1908; repr. 1991) are poor complements to
the much fuller _English Historical Documents_ series, but have a good
range of snippets from narrative sources of various kinds to serve as an
introduction (albeit dated). You should be able to find them in most
good sized academic libraries, or via interlibrary loan to participating
public libraries.
