"Descrittione del regno di Scotia" by Petruccio Ubaldini is a historical account that was likely written during the late 16th century. This work chronicles the geography, culture, and history of Scotland, including its borders and notable landmarks, aiming to provide a comprehensive description rooted in observation and historical sources. Ubaldini's narrative reflects both his personal experiences in Scotland and borrowed insights from earlier historians, offering a synthesized perspective on the region during that era. The opening of the book serves to introduce Ubaldini's background and intent. It reveals that he is an expatriate from Italy who has observed Scotland and its nearby isles, aiming to document the land's characteristics and contributions to history. He acknowledges the contributions of other historians while asserting his observations, making it clear that this work is both a reflection of personal experiences and a compilation of existing knowledge. Ubaldini expresses a desire to help others understand Scotland better, suggesting that this work is designed to be informative and engaging for curious readers.
