      A personal investigation into the history that surrounds us, from the historian and award-winning author of The Hidden Ways

      The Secret History of Here is the story of a single place in the Scottish Borders. The site on which Alistair Moffat''s farm now stands has been occupied since prehistoric times. 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. Taking the form of a journal of a year, this is a walk through the centuries as much as the seasons, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who came before, as well as those who live here now.
