Picturing Scotland: Sacred Scotland

Content: The theme of sanctity, as expressed in Scotland's ritual and sacred locations, is abundantly evident right across the country and its timeline stretches from earliest human pre-history to present-day practice. The aim of this book is to trace a path through the spiritual journey of Scotland's peoples, from over 5,000 years ago to the here and now. That's a big challenge for a small book, but hopefully it will serve to introduce the subject and open the door to deeper investigation.
