Shortlisted for the The Great Outdoors Awards - Outdoor Book of the Year 2020Shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Literature 2020There are strange relics hidden across Scotland's landscape: forgotten places that are touchstones to incredible stories and past lives which still resonate today. And what can they tell us about our own modern identity?From the high mountain passes of an ancient droving route to a desolate moorland graveyard, from uninhabited post-industrial islands and Clearance villages to caves explored by early climbers and the mysterious strongholds of Christian missionaries, Patrick Baker makes a series of journeys on foot and by paddle.

Along the way, he encounters Neolithic settlements, bizarre World War Two structures, evidence of illicit whisky
