Investigating Scotland’s oldest places
Series two of Stone Me
Join me as I explore new sites with new experts, uncovering some of the mysteries of the first people to settle in Scotland.
From the very south to the very north of Scotland, from the most glamorous and refined sites to ones that are barely visible to the human eye, I’ll explore more of what life was like 5,000 years ago.
The series starts with an emotional return to the Ness of Brodgar to see the site begin to disappear back beneath the earth.

Did you know that there is a cosmic lightshow put on by a massive moon that only happens once every 18.6 years at a 5,000 year old holy place at the north west tip of Scotland’s most remote western island? Or that a farmer’s plough striking a stone just 20 years ago led to ancient finds that have caused the country’s most ancient history to be rewritten?
Matthew Magee didn’t, until he got on his bike and rode (and sailed, and travelled by train) to some of Scotland’s most glamorous, exciting and important neolithic sites to interview experts on the secrets of our oldest places.
