A Wee Guide to Prehistoric Scotland (Wee Guides)

Scotland has many magnificent prehistoric sites to rival anywhere in Europe- the splendid towering broch of Mousa, the enigmatic standing stones at Callanish and Brodgar, the eerie chambered tomb of Maeshowe, and the sophisticated sand-blown Neolithic settlement at Skara Brae, older than the great pyramids of Egypt. This Wee Guide describes what is known about the first peoples of Scotland and the many stunning monuments they left behind. A gazeteer of sites lists 120 of the best tombs, standing stones and circles, forts, duns and brochs, prehistoric settlements and museums to visit, along with location, access and visitor info. Useful maps and many illustrations of the sites fully complement the text.
