The site on which Alistair Moffat's farm now stands has been occupied since pre - historic times. The fields have turned up ancient arrow heads stone spindles silver pennies and a stone carved with the rune - like letters of Ogham. 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. Under our feet carved into the landscape in the layout of paths and roads in the stories we pass down our history leaves its trace on the land. Taking the form of a journal of a year The Secret History of Here is a walk through the centuries as much as the seasons. We hear the echo of battles long since fought of lives lived quietly or scandalously of armies of kings of the common folk who mostly inhabited this land and a little of those that live here now.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Secret History Of Here A Year In The Valley\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Moffat Alistair\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Canongate Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781838851132\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 384 Pages, Line Drawings\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/6\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Natural History","brand":"Moffat Alistair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624649498929,"sku":"IN-G-9781838851132","price":21.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781838851132.jpg?v=1724946087","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781838851132-the-secret-history-of-here-a-year-in-the-valley","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
