STONE VOICES: THE SEARCH FOR SCOTLAND (PB)

One of Scotland's finest writers addresses his country in a fusion of history, memoir, political analysis and meditations on place - an approach which will be familiar to anyone who has read one of his columns. Ascherson weaves together the deep past - employing geology and archaeology, myth and legend - with the story of modern Scotland and its rebirth in the 1990s. A natural companion to Edwin Muir's Scottish Journey and R F Mackenzie's A Search for Scotland.
