Modern communications have driven motorways and pylons through the
countryside, dwarfed us with TV and telephone masts and drastically
altered the way in which we move around, see and understand
Scotland. Recent politics and logistics have established borders
and jurisdictions which now seem permanent and impervious. The
Faded Map looks beyond these to remember a land that was once quiet
and green. It brings to vivid life the half-forgotten kings and
kingdoms of two thousand years ago, of the time of the Romans, the
Dark Ages and into the early medieval period. In this fascinating
account, Alistair Moffat describes the landscape these men and
women moved through and talks of a Celtic society which spoke to
itself in Old Welsh, where the Sons of Prophesy ruled, and the time
when the English kings of Bernicia held sway over vast swathes of
what is now Scotland. Heroes rode out of the mists to challenge
them and then join with them. The faint echo of the din of ancient
battles can be heard as Alistair Moffat takes the reader on a
remarkable journey around a lost Scotland.
