Written by two of Historic Scotland's Principal Inspectors of Ancient Monuments, this guide tells the story of Shetland's history through its surviving monuments. The book tells of the islands' first settlement by neolithic farmers and the surviving neolithic landscape and buildings at Stanydale, the Iron Age houses and brochs at Jarlshof, the castles of Scottish incomers at Muness and Scalloway and the artillery defenses of Fort Charlotte, built to protect the anchorage of Bressay sound in the 1780s. The historical narrative is interspersed with guided tours of the monuments themselves.

<p>In this book, George Oliver, a lifelong motoring enthusiast, photographer and illustrator of the motor car, tackles the strange story of motor car manufacture in Scotland. Starting in the earliest days with enterprising importers, he tells of innovative engineering, disputed patents, dubious investments, hard work and dedication. The scene shifts from modest workshops to grandiose purpose-built factories, from one end of Scotland to the other. But all enterprises had one thing in common - sooner or later they failed. In his controversial final chapter, the author gives his own considered view as to why they did.</p>

In the city of Edinburgh lies Holyrood Park containing the craggy mountain known as Arthur's Seat. Currently it is a public place, a quiet wilderness belying its close proximity to bustling streets, and a far cry from the industry and agriculture of its past. From the hill-top defences set up about 2000 years ago to the foundation platforms of 19th-century shepherd's cottages, this book tells the 10,000-year story of Holyrood Park.
