Beginning 10,000 years ago, a record of our prehistory taking in the monuments on Orkney and the Isle of Lewis as well as the fortress of Dunadd and the sacred landscape of the Kilmartin Valley in Argyll. When the pioneers came north after the end of the last ice age, settled by the sea and loch shores and along the riverbanks, they began the continuous history of Scotland. The lost sub-continent of Doggerland, now submerged beneath the waves of the North Sea, is a key theme, bringing many of our ancestors from the east. The story continues with the huge and brutal Roman invasion in 77AD, the end of the empire and the rise of the Gaelic-speaking Argyll kings, the men who at last began to talk of Alba, of Scotland.

Most helpful review Before Scotland - The Story Of Scotland Before History

the scotland you didn't know

By a customer , 11 Aug 2011

[Highly rated reviewer]

I've watched many celtic documentaries, particularly on scotland, any many were disappointing, but not this one. it follows scotland's development from iron age era when it was not in fact 'scotland' at all right through to middle ages (roughly). having done a celtic degree i always like to pick out where these documentaries are wrong but they seem to know their stuff in this one, and there was also plenty that i didn't know, which was great. they keep the momentum up enough that you don't get bored, but slow enough that you can take the time to process and appreciate it. i was pleasantly impressed considering the number of crap documentaries on this subject area that are out there. so if you are interested in scotland or the picts, or even the general era i'd say its worth a watch
