It is no exaggeration to say that the isles are a place where this history is still truly a part of everyday life. Every corner of the islands has its ancient monuments, most of them in a remarkable state of repair. These monuments all stand as constant reminders of the events and people that have gone before. History can therefore not be said to be something that exists only within school books or the minds of academics. Our history and heritage is everywhere - an intricate tapestry of events stitched into the very fabric of the islands themselves.
History is alive and still part of everyday life, albeit unconsciously.
