This ancient Celtic-speaking people, who fought off the might of the Roman Empire, are perhaps best known for their Symbol Stones images carved into standing stones left scattered across Scotland, many of which have their own stories.

From Shetland to the border with England, these ancient memories of Scotlands original inhabitants have flourished since the nations earliest days and now are told afresh, shedding new light on our ancient past.
