Stewart Ross is a professional author who has written more than 60 books on history and politics. He holds three degrees, two British and one American, and has taught at universities in Britain, the United States and the Middle East. Four of his books are published by House of Lochar.

From the Back Cover:

An invaluable reference book which gives a sweeping, broadly chronological survey of the history of Scotland's ancient races and invaluable insight into the relics of their civilisations. Neatly sub-divided chapters illustrate and explain standing stones, burial mounds, stone circles, hillforts, artefacts and other evidence. The author also ponders some unexplained mysteries.
