The site on which Alistair Moffat's farm now stands, in the Scottish Borders, has been occupied since prehistoric times. The fields have turned up ancient arrowheads, 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. In uncovering the treasures of one piece of land, Moffat shows how history is all around us, if only we have the eyes to see it.
