This work is part of the "Exploring Scotland's Heritage" series which provides an introduction to the archaeological heritage of Scotland. Each book tells the story of one part of Scotland, tracing human impressions on the landscape from World War II relics back to the earliest pioneer days of settlement. The details are filled in by a gazetteer of interesting and well-preserved monuments. This volume looks at the Edinburgh, Lothian and Border regions, examining their heritage which reflects their economic and political importance for over 5000 years. There are many forts, castles and Border abbeys, with royal palaces contrasting with modest dovecotes and market crosses.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The most succinct, detailed physical summary I've seen,
By M. Linse (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edinburgh, Lothians and Borders (Exploring Scotland's Heritage Series) (Paperback)
Simple maps, Every possible denomination of manmade site to visit from castles to prehistoric sites to bridges. roads could be more detailed, driving times would be nice, no typical "touristy" info on where to eat, drink, sleep, etc. I wish the sections were all in one book. Recommended for people visiting Scotland that aren't there to party or shop. Chapters include: history of region, several excursions( tour routes), towns, industrial monuments and harbours, communications, rural buildings, mansions and memorials, artillery forts and barracks, castles, ecclesiastical monuments, dark age carved stones, forts, brochs and settlements, cairns and standing stones. lots of pics.
