  This series provides an introduction to the archaeological heritage of Scotland, detailing the story of one part of the country. The details are filled in by a gazetteer of the most interesting and best preserved monuments, and aim to encourage the reader to explore further using the full-colour section on day excursions. This volume contains a variety of monuments in keeping with a past dominated by the sea - both as a means of transport and as a livelihood. From Skerryvore lighthouse to the mysterious standing stones of Callanish, it explores how people have lived over the centuries around Scotland's western seaboard.
