The ancient monuments of Scotland are a source of mystery in our modern times.
Why are they aligned with the sun and the moon?
What is the meaning of their strange markings?
Why were they built in the first place?
In this comprehensive new book, experts Douglas Scott and Stuart McHardy explore these questions and more. Covering the stone circles of Calanais and Meashowe standing against the wild landscapes of the Isle of Lewis and Orkney, to the rock art at Drumtroddan and Kintraw, The Stones of the Ancestors is your must-have guide to these ancient monuments and their cultural and historical significance.
