Stone Voices: The Search for Scotland

Neal Ascherson

“Stone Voices” is Neal Ascherson’s return to his native Scotland. It is an exploration of Scottish identity, but this is no journalistic rumination on the future of that small nation. Instead it weaves together a story of deep time – the time of geology and archaeology, of myth and legend – with the story of modern Scotland and its rebirth.

Neal Ascherson

Neal Ascherson was born in Edinburgh. He reported from Asia, Africa and Central Europe for the Observer and was Journalist of the year in 1986.
