Description
The Faded Map: The Lost Kingdoms of Scotland A thousand years of history lie hidden beneath the modern landscape of Scotland, waiting to be rediscovered. This fascinating account brings to life the half-forgotten kings and kingdoms of the past, from the time of the Romans to the early medieval period. Alistair Moffat explores the Celtic society that once spoke in Old Welsh, and the English kingdoms that ruled over vast swathes of the country. The landscape of Scotland has changed dramatically over the centuries, with the construction of motorways, pylons, and other modern infrastructure. But beneath the surface, the history of the land remains, waiting to be uncovered. This book is a journey into the past, where the heroes and kings of old rode out of the mists to challenge and join with one another. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, Alistair Moffat brings the lost kingdoms of Scotland to vivid life, revealing a rich and complex history that continues to shape the country today.
