The Early Races of Scotland and Their Monuments by Forbes Leslie is a comprehensive exploration of the prehistoric peoples who inhabited Scotland and the ancient monuments they left behind. The book covers the period from the earliest known inhabitants of Scotland, through the Bronze Age and Iron Age, up to the arrival of the Romans. Leslie provides detailed descriptions of the various types of monuments, such as standing stones, cairns, and hill forts, and discusses their possible functions and meanings. He also considers the social and cultural context in which they were created, drawing on archaeological evidence and historical accounts. In addition to the physical monuments, Leslie discusses the beliefs and customs of the early Scottish peoples, including their religious practices and burial customs. He also examines the impact of external influences, such as the arrival of the Beaker people and the Roman conquest, on the development of Scottish society.Overall, The Early Races of Scotland and Their Monuments provides a fascinating insight into the lives and culture of Scotland's early inhabitants and the legacy they left behind in the form of stone circles, burial cairns, and other ancient structures.Contains both volumes one and two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
