This book looks at the evolution of rural settlement in Scotland
from the Mesolithic period through to the improving movement of the
18th and 19th centuries. The main emphasis is on changes in society
and technology, but the book also considers how the development of
the physical landscape laid the foundation for such changes. The
author strikes a balance between general perspectives (including
relevant contextual materials such as the political structures) and
local studies, with much emphasis on individual sites. Lack of
documentation prior to the 10th century places particular
importance on the archaeological evidence, but imaginative
interpretation of this evidence has led to a major re-evaluation.
Ideas emphasizing continuity of settlement and local adaptation are
replacing older 'invasionist' theories emphasizing Celtic war lords
and broch-building pirates.
