A Dance Called America, I've had this book on my bookshelf for ages now and finally found the time to read it.
It is an account of what happened to the thousands of people who left the Scottish Highlands to make a new life in the United States and Canada. The book looks at the impact of people from the Highlands on the New World. It looks at how soldiers, explorers, fur traders, lumberjacks, guerilla fighters, railway builders and pioneer settlers from the northern part of Scotland contributed to the United States and Canada.
It's one of those books where you don't have to read from end to end each chapter is a story in itself but they all lead to one conclusion.

I have also just finished Labyrinth by Kate Mosse, excellent book.

Cheers
