It is said that Scotland has more history than any other country in the world. It is also fascinating history, going back 10,000 years to when the first people settled here. We could show you a 5000 year old stone age settlement, (that is older than the Pyramids), and the amazing Standing Stones which were used for thousands of years thereafter, (Below Left). What were they? Maps of the Heavens? Sacrificial altars? Mythical giants turned to stone by the rising sun? Their mystery almost equals their beauty.
