The story of the Rising is still being told, and in these pages the reader will find much to ponder, much to discuss, and much to disagree with. From the Introduction by Kirsty Lusk and Willy Maley\nOn Easter Monday 1916, leaders of a rebellion against British rule over Ireland proclaimed the establishment of an Irish Republic.

It is little known that James Connolly, one of the rebellion\u2019s leaders, was born in Edinburgh\u2019s Cowgate, at the time nicknamed \u2018Little Ireland\u2019, or that another key figure in the events of Easter 1916 was a young woman from Coatbridge, Margaret Skinnider. These and other surprising Scottish connections are explored\n\nScotland and the Easter Rising\nFresh Perspectives on 1916\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail trac;
