My copy just arrived today; agree with most of what you say but am slightly disappointed at the relative paucity of Scottish sites (given the often stupendous landscapes in which they're set) as against numerous Welsh ones, also very little coverage of Dartmoor which I found surprising. Perhaps the weather conditions over the Outer Hebrides were never right....however the perspectives on some of the hillforts, henges, barrows, cursuses etc are indeed stunning. Definitely makes me want to get out there.


Yeah, perhaps could've held a few of the Welsh hillforts and included a few more Scottish sites in lieu, perhaps? But then the author is Welsh... I'd suggest most Scottish authors would favour Scotland, to be fair. The thing about Dartmoor is it is such a confined area so I would group it with Bodmin myself
