Scotland's varied cultural and political history has bequeathed it a wonderful variety of ancient sites - from Neolithic to Medieval. There are the Stone circles of Callanish on Lewis, Brodgar on Orkney and numerous smaller ones on the mainland. There are forts and crannogs and burial mounds and symbol stones. There are artefacts from Celtic, Norse, Pictish and Roman times. A wealth of knowledge to be divined and a host of puzzles to be solved.
