520 _a"History of the Scottish Expedition to Norway in 1612" by Thomas Michell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the lesser-known Scottish expedition that took place in 1612, part of the broader context of the Calmar War between Denmark and Sweden, focusing on the events leading up to and during the Scottish troops' ill-fated march through Norway. Michell's work aims to clarify the facts surrounding this expedition, correcting misconceptions from previous accounts and artifacts of folklore. The opening of the work establishes the background context of the Scottish expedition, known as the "Skottetog," highlighting the limited historical accounts available until recent archival research began to shed light on the event. Michell details his motivations for exploring the expedition's history, prompted by his own travels in Norway and the discrepancies he found in popular literature and local lore. He notes the recent discovery of official documents that have allowed for a more accurate retelling of the Scots' journey and eventual peril, setting the stage for the examination of the sources and historical narratives that shape our understanding of this significant episode in Scottish and Norwegian history.
