Ancient Scotland is an evocative, pictorial celebration of a landscape steeped in history. Divided into four sections - The Highlands and Islands (Northern Scotland, Orkney and Shetland), the gateway to the west (Western Scotland and the Western Isles), The Kingdom of the Picts (East Scotland) and The Bastion against the South (the Borders) - it recalls the splendour of Scotland's rolling glens, rocky islands and imposing castles.

The mountains and lochs provide a powerful setting for many sacred and legendary landmarks, from the bleak beauty of the prehistoric stone circle at Callanish to the ancestral strongholds of the ancient clans. Ancient Scotland captures the breathtaking drama of these sites and will appeal to anyone who has ever visited, or hoped to visit, this captivating land.
