There are at least 48 identified prehistoric stone circles in Scotland. In truth, very little is known about the people who erected them, and ultimately about what the stone circles were for. Most stone circles are astronomically aligned, which has led to the modern debate about why the alignment was significant. The megaliths certainly represented an enormous co-operative effort, would at the very least have demonstrated power and wealth, and being set away from any dwellings probably served a ceremonial, or perhaps religious, purpose. Observations at the site of the stone circles, of solar, lunar, and stellar events, have already cast light on some of the questions about the construction and use of ancient megalithic observatories. In his capacity as manager of the Parks Department Astronomy Project, author Duncan Lunan designed and built the first astronomically aligned stone circle in Britain in over 3,000 years. 'The Stones and the Stars' examines the case for astronomical alignments of stone circles, and charts the development of a fascinating project with a strong scientific and historical background. The work was documented in detail by the artist and photographer Gavin Roberts, and this archive has been added to since - so an appropriate selection of illustrations will bring the project vividly to life.

Bringing a fresh perspective on history by combining it with myth and superstition, this duology tells the story of a young man’s fantastical adventures before and during The Great War. 1904, Britain. Tom and his brother Gilbert are working with their prominent archaeologist father, trying to decipher the meaning of a mysterious stone circle near the Welsh/English border.

Stolen out of spite, hunted for by a shadowy warrior-clan, rescued in a daring burglary and gambled for in a game of life and death, the stone has been prophesied to hold back the Dark Times – if Tom and Gilbert use all their wits and courage to bring it to its destiny before the stars start to rain...
