Description: Atholl lies at the very heart of Scotland and encompasses some of the most famous names in Scottish history, Scone -- ancient inauguration site of the Kings of Scots, Dunkeld -- where Dundee's royalist troops were fought to a standstill in 1689, Rannock Moor -- where the "Children of the Mist" hid after the Massacre of Glencoe, and many more. Nearby, lies the much softer landscape of Gowrie, rich and fertile, known as the Garden of Scotland. Both areas are extremely rich in archaeology, and this guide takes in the full range, from neolithic cairns to medieval palaces, from industrial workers' cottages to Roman fortresses. Atholl and Gowrie is the latest book in the Historical Guide series.
