Argyll and the Western Isles (Exploring Scotland's Heritage)

This series provides an introduction to the archaeological heritage of Scotland, detailing the story of one part of the country. The details are filled in by a gazetteer of the most interesting and best preserved monuments, and aim to encourage the reader to explore further using the full-colour section on day excursions. This volume contains a variety of monuments in keeping with a past dominated by the sea - both as a means of transport and as a livelihood. From Skerryvore lighthouse to the mysterious standing stones of Callanish, it explores how people have lived over the centuries around Scotland's western seaboard.
