Ancient Scotland, Vikings, Celts and Picts Tours
Callanish Standing Stones on the Outer Hebridean Island of Lewis
Tour the Ancient Sites of Scotland
Scotland is littered with ancient history and sites. There are significant sites dotted all over Scotland and a lot of them are among daily life. Let me show you around some of the ancient Scottish history from Celts to Vikings, Picts and Brittons... and yes also Romans.
The best thing about doing tours to ancient sites is that there is little information to remember. Luckily we know very little about these sites and their real meaning, including the people that built them. Maybe they should have learned how to write and record their history before building monuments.
The Romans had a lot to say about the local folk at the time, the problem is they were slightly biased and quite busy with positive PR about their grand empire.
