HISTORY BEHIND GAME OF THRONES (HB)

George R. R. Martin's extraordinary fictional universe is used as a way to understand the driving forces and defining moments from Scotland's story. Visit the castle where the real Red Wedding took place, encounter the fearsome historical tribes beyond Rome's great wall, learn how a blood-red heart became the most feared sigil in Scotland, and more. By journey's end, the cogs in the wheels of Martin's world and Scottish history are laid bare, as well as the stories of those who tried to shape them and break them.
