Stone Lands is a lyrical blend of personal memoir, travel writing and ancient history, guiding readers through Britain’s most enigmatic prehistoric landscapes. From the windswept shores of Orkney and the rugged beauty of West Penwith to the sacred circles of Avebury and the stillness of the Lake District, Fiona Robertson sets out in search of Britain's ancient megaliths, and finds healing among the stones.

Written in the shadow of personal loss, this profound and deeply human book was born during a time of immense grief. After learning that her husband Stephen had terminal cancer, Fiona began to reconnect with her long-standing fascination for ancient stone monuments. What began as a lifelong interest became something more, a source of comfort, continuity and connection in a world turned upside down.

Beautifully illustrated with evocative black and white line drawings by artist and printmaker Philip Harris, Stone Lands is a celebration of ancient wonder and the grounding power of the land.

Rich in folklore, archaeology, and nature writing, this book is ideal for readers looking for reflective memoirs about grief and the natural world, explorations of Britain's ancient sites, and stories that honour our connection to place, history and spirit. Whether you're searching for meaning, travelling through sorrow, or simply drawn to the mysterious pull of sacred landscapes, Stone Lands is a luminous meditation on time and memory.
