I bought it from Kilmartin Museum last year and it's the best one on offer in terms of offering great content and illustrations.

Stunning place. Hoping to work on some paintings of this whole area soon.

Hi Anna,
Yes it has been mentioned, and it's on its way, along with Beckensall's Rockart book. So what with the music Ispeed (thanks) there will also be paintings in the future from Rocket ;),
My reason for accumulating some more books is that I have hardly any knowledge, or even geographical sense of Scotland. But hopefully in the near future we will be spending more time in Whitby (half way up to Scotland from here), so Yorkshire will be a better starting place to explore from.

Just to add to the list, Towers of the North - The Brochs of Scotland by Ian Armit is good from the brochs point of view :-)

I don't know Scotland that well to my shame and last year's visit was breathtaking - Kilmartin Glen is such a rich area for prehistoric landscapes. I was in my element.

Planning a 'scottish series' so watch out for sweeping glens, lakes and standing stones - just need the time to do it now. Got the will.

Love Whitby so quite envious that you will both spend more time up that way. Hoping to get to the Outer Herbrides next year.

Anna
