Abandoned Scotland.
Amber Books. 2023
An ancient land with a turbulent past and haunting landscape,
Scotland’s material culture stretches back to the time of
ancient Roman incursions north of Hadrian’s Wall
and includes Viking raids, wars with England, and clan wars that still stir the blood today.
Now, remnants of the country’s history can be found in every corner of this dramatic land,
from the thinly inhabited Western Isles to the remote Highlands and the fishing ports of the North Sea coast.
Illustrated with 180 photographs, Abandoned Scotland provides a fascinating pictorial exploration of the little-known corners of this glorious country.
