The Scotichronicon is a historical chronicle of Scotland, written in the 15th century by the monk Walter Bower. It serves as a continuation of the earlier work, the Chronicon by John of Fordun, and aims to document the history of Scotland from its mythical origins to Bower's own time. This text is significant for its detailed accounts of Scottish kings, battles, and events, providing valuable insights into medieval Scottish history. The Scotichronicon is often regarded as one of the most important sources for understanding Scotland's past and its national identity.
