Critics Review
’ … The book is very well written in clear and plain English and it conveys ideas and stories in short, well-structured, chapters that are appropriately illustrated to a high quality. … It is a book to be relished and looked at in comfort and the images in particular reward closer study.’

This is partly because it is so succinctly written with a kernel of vital information in almost every sentence. It discusses many new discoveries, presents new research and provides numerous thought-provoking interpretations which change our perception of Scottish history in the ancient and medieval periods. … Finally, this book is a masterclass in how to present new material within a coherent and accessible narrative which can appeal both to the scholar and the layman … ‘ Britannia
