Douglas Scott

Douglas Scott was born in Springburn, Glasgow and in 1976 he moved with his family to the Highlands to start their silversmithing business. Over the years, he had interests in rock and ice climbing, diving and sea canoeing, but his love of archaeology and astronomy came together one day when his friend, Ian Fraser, took him to see the Bronze Age Edderton Stone circle and its outlying standing stone, the Clach Biorach. Being shown these stones led Dougie to the most joyful and frustrating period of his life, as he began to survey and photograph the solar and lunar aligned prehistoric monuments all over Scotland for the next 40 years.
