People have lived in Scotland for at least 10,000 years. Yet, for
the first 9000 of these years, no recognisable concept of
'Scotland' even existed. Most books on Scottish history dispose of
these nine millennia in a brief introduction, before moving on to
the more familiar kings, queens, barons and battles of medieval
Scotland. Ian Armit tells the story of Scotland's earliest history
by concentrating on 100 of the most exciting and accessible
monuments, which he places firmly in their wider context. Armed
with full information on 'How to get there', the reader is
encouraged to go out and discover the wealth of this archaeological
evidence that can be seen all over Scotland - Neolithic chambered
tombs and stone circles, Bronze Age rock carvings and hut circles,
Iron Age hillforts and brochs, Roman forts, Pictish symbol stones,
early Christian crosses and Viking graves. The book includes
regional itineraries, a guide to museums and heritage attractions,
and an archaeological glossary.
