The written History of Scotland largely begins with the arrival of the Roman Empire in Britain. Frequent conflict with England was followed by eventual Union. The subsequent Scottish Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution saw Scotland become one of the commercial and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Decline following the Second World War was acute, but recent decades have brought a cultural and economic renaissance, fuelled in part by a resurgent financial services sector, the proceeds of North Sea oil, and latterly a devolved parliament.
