ISSUE 3
We will start with four powerful words: the past is alive.
Scotland is a land sculpted by its history, a place shaped by the passage of time and in the pages of the third issue of Hidden Sctoland, the past becomes a recurring theme.
We explore the Isle of Skye, where dinosaurs once roamed. We enter the imposing Caledonian forest, strolling through the undergrowth of the temperate rainforest that once covered almost the entire country. We also take a stroll among the extraordinary Neolithic sites that make Scotland one of the world's foremost repositories of Stone Age architecture.
Moving forward into more recent centuries, we visit the historic towns and ancient places of worship that mark the Borders Abbeys Way, learn more about the 17th century witches of Shetland, and learn about Dumfries & Galloway's past. We also hear the ancient story of Thomas the Rhymer and take a ride along the fabulous Highland road which is Bealach na Bà.
But there is more to these pages, of course, than in the past. Let's meet some of the most inspiring creatives and artisans of this land.
