Summary

An introduction to the first people to live in Scotland. What evidence is available, such as shell mounds on Oronsay, cave shelters and scattered tools, tells of an adaptable and imaginative people, yet any study looking so far back in history is especially difficult and the puzzle of piecing together the past is a compelling story on its own.

Wild Harvesters by Bill Finlayson

Designed throughout with colourful and detailed illustrations, Wild Harvesters outlines in a clear and understandable way the Mesolithic Age in Scotland. It contains in-depth features on important discoveries and Mesolithic phenomenon and emphasises that Scotland's first inhabitants were not ignorant savages but ordinary people trying to live as best they could in their landscape. Included in the book are specially commissioned illustrations which show how these people may have lived, as well as an assessment of the archaeological theories current today. This book is part of a newly updated edition of the acclaimed Making of Scotland series produced by Historic Scotland and Birlinn which provides lively, accessible and up-to-date introductions to key themes and periods in Scottish history and prehistory.
Bill Finlayson is a Research Fellow and Manager of the Centre for Field Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh.
