"Stone Voices - The Search For Scotland" by Neal Ascherson (published by Granta).

Starting with the stones of Kilmartin, Kintraw and Oban it draws you beautifully through its 305 pages. It is a compulsive read. From our ancient forebears down to Thatcher and mine closures, Stone Voices presents a fascinating and unput-downable read. It weaves a beautiful narrative from the many threads which make up the tapestry of Scotland's history and present. Truly a joy.
