Title: Neolithic and bronze age Scotland
Description: "This is the story of Scotland from the first farmers to the beginning of the Iron Age. It traces the growth and mysterious decline of the society which left its mark on the landscape in the form of great stone circles, settlements and ceremonial enclosures. Who were these people and how did they live? What were their rituals and what did their monuments mean?" "Backed by the latest archaeological evidence and techniques, Patrick Ashmore puts these fine structures in a Scottish context in a way that has not been attempted before; he reveals the identity of their creators, people who transformed the ancient forests of Scotland into a land of moors, grassy uplands and farms." "Finely illustrated with photographs, drawings and maps - many specially prepared for the book - this is an authoritative and lively account, throwing light on a hitherto enigmatic period of Scottish prehistory."--BOOK JACKET.
