The Secret History of HereAlistair MoffatMainLabel: Canongate BooksDescription: The Secret History of Here is the story of a single place in the Scottish Borders. The site on which Alistair Moffat's farm now stands has been occupied since prehistoric times. Walking this landscape you can feel the presence and see the marks of those who lived here before. But it is also the story of everywhere. In uncovering the history of one piece of land Moffat shows how history is all around us if only we have the eyes to see it. Taking the form of a journal of a year this is a walk through the centuries as much as the seasons offering a glimpse into the lives of those who came before as well as those who live here now.
"The Alistair Moffat 'The Secret History of Here' is perfect for those interested in Scottish history or those curious about learning more about their country's past."
