NEW: Archaeological Adventures in the Outer Hebrides by Gerald Ponting, Foreword by Alison Sheridan

When Gerald and Margaret Ponting moved to the Isle of Lewis in the 1970s, their fascination with the Callanish Stones sparked a decade of extraordinary discovery. Their fieldwork led to the re-identification and restoration of key stones, the rediscovery of lost features, and the promotion of the remarkable Major Southern Lunar Standstill phenomenon. Gerald’s subsequent journalism in the Stornoway Gazette also championed local heritage, including the preservation of the Shulishader axe. This vivid and richly illustrated account is both personal memoir and vital record of Hebridean archaeological heritage, with a foreword by archaeologist Dr Alison Sheridan of National Museums Scotland. Over 110 photographs.

Published 2025 by Islands Book Trust in partnership with Urras nan Tursachan. Paperback, 256 pages, 240 × 170mm.
