The ancient monuments of Scotland are a source of mystery in our modern times.
Why are so many 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 extensively researched book, experts Douglas Scott and Stuart McHardy explore these questions and more. Covering the stone circles of Calanais and Meashowe standing against the wild landscape of Lewis and Orkney, to the rock art at Drumtroddan and Kintaw, The Stones of The Ancestors is your must-have guide to these ancient monuments and their cultural and historical significance.
