These poems build on the first volume of the same name in looking
at local history over the centuries. This one evokes the Pictish
(Iron Age and Early Medieval) culture, left behind in many richly
carved stones up and down the east of Scotland. Some of these still
stand in their original locations, some have been taken into the
care of museums, such as Groam House in Rosemarkie in the Black
Isle, where the author used to volunteer. The Rosemarkie Cross is
the pride of their collection. The second part of this volume looks
at Later Medieval history, up to the Battle of Flodden in 1513.
Throughout the collection, the past comes to life in vivid detail
as the seasons change, people live and die and nature is always
beautiful. The cover shows the Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age burial
ground outside Inverness.
