Description
Alistair Moffat's Before Scotland offers a fresh perspective on the land that became Scotland. This narrative history spans from the great thaw at the end of the Ice Age to the ascension of King Constantine II, weaving together dramatic geological events and impressive human endeavour. The story is enriched by special features on topics such as cave drawings, natural birth control, and the myth of Atlantis, adding a unique layer of depth to the narrative. Colour photographs also bring the Scottish landscape and monuments to life, providing a strong sense of place. Erudite and engaging, Before Scotland transforms our understanding of a neglected period in history, making it an essential read for anyone interested in Scotland's prehistory.
