An ancient land with a turbulent past and haunting landscape, Scotland's material culture stretches back to the time of ancient Roman incursions and includes Viking raids, wars with England, and clan wars that still stir the blood today. In Abandoned Scotland, discover the ramshackle sanatorium of Glen O'Dee Hospital; see the rusting, neglected rides and rollercoasters of the Loudoun Castle Theme Park; quake at the site of New Slains Castle, said to be haunted by soldiers and mermaids; and venture underground into the massive labyrinth of Cults Limestone Mine.

Traces the development of Viking and medieval farmstead settlement patterns in Northern Iceland and the impact of Christianity as revealed by household cemeteries.
