5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it! It's a belter!, 5 April 2005
By A Customer
Moffat has written a superb book on Scottish Prehistory. Ranging from the end of the last ice age to 900AD, it explains and entertains in equal measure. Packed full of interesting information, this book is a masterly exposition of the continuity of culture across the millenia. If you are only going to buy/read one book on Celtic prehistory, make it this one! You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful / direach sgoineal, 30 April 2008
By Crisdean "Crisdean" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This book accompanies the wonderful T.V series. It gives us an insight to our own prehistory - something that has up to recently been denied us or ridiculed as not been worth serious study - and not the give the information to the plebs! The t.v series was redone in Gaelic as Ro Alba. Personally, I preferred the Gaelic version - even though Moffat himself presented the English language version. Don't know particularly why preferred the Gaelic version - perhaps as it is our ancient past - felt more "connected" to the subject matter when done in Gaelic. It seemed to be more personal in a way. But having said that - both t.v versions were wonderful and the book allows us to go and follow up the information. If you have not had the chance to see the television programs - don't worry - the book will not be inaccessible for you; they complement each other - but can be viewed or read in isolation from each other. I just wish that they would bring out the t.v series on DVD.!
