An updated, revised edition of Neal Ascherson's definitive history of Scotland - with new material for 2025.
In Stone Voices, Neal Ascherson weaves together a story of the deep past - the time of geology and archaeology, of myth and legend - with the story of modern Scotland and its identity. Stirring, insightful and beautifully crafted, and occupying that borderland between history, memoir, politics and geography, Stone Voices forms a unique exploration of a fascinating and ever-evolving country.
