Part of the fabric of Scotland's identity, the story of these sacred places is as rich as it is diverse. Packed with vital and practical information, these handy guides enable locals and visitors to explore and discover the hidden history of Scotland.
Buffeted by Baltic winds and the steely waves of the North Sea, the North-East of Scotland is a surprisingly rich and diverse region with fertile soil and rolling hills, long rivers and dramatic mountain ranges. Its churches reflect this diversity with hard, granite cathedrals and picture-postcard gems vying for attention complete with an incredible history, including the hiding place of the Scottish Crown Jewels.
Packed with vital and practical information, this handy guide enables locals and visitors to explore and discover the hidden history of the North-East of Scotland. John Hume’s fascinating and in-depth introduction to the area sheds considerable light on the cultural background of the local churches and the incredible human stories of the people who built and use them.
