Recent excavations have revealed that the Hebrides-the Isle of Skye
and the Western Isles-have their own regional archaeology, as
distinctive as other better-known areas such as Wessex and Orkney.
Tracing the history of human settlement and society in Skye and
the Western Isles, this book brings new material to a wide audience
for the first time. It examines the monuments and their context
from the time of the first hunter-gatherers to the post-medieval
period, including descriptions of the stunning Callanish stones on
the Isle of Lewis and the great broch towers found along the
Western coastline. With illustrations and material from recent
excavations, it recounts the area's history from prehistoric times
to the Clearances and the subsequent devastating emigration to
North America and Canada.
No other book gives such an accessible and up-to-date account of
this important region's archaeological history- "The Archaeology of
Skye and the Western Isles" will appeal to all those who can trace
their ancestry to Skye, Lewis, Harris, the Uists or Barra.
