  • Non-Fiction: Scottish History, Travel 

Hidden in plain view in many of Scotland's most remote areas are ruins and relics that are the silent memorials to stories, events and ways of life that defined these places decades, centuries, even thousands of years ago.

Patrick Baker sets off on a series of journeys on foot and by paddle which take him from the high mountain passes of an ancient droving route to uninhabited islands that one thronged with industry. Along the way he explores Neolithic settlements, bizarre structures from the Second World War, illicit whisky stills, abandoned villages, sacred wells and the silent strongholds of Christian missionaries. 

Weaving social, natural and industrial history together with legend, literature and geology, he unlocks the secrets of these unremembered places and ponders what they can tell us about our own modern history.
