Simon Forder is a historian and castle expert and has travelled all over Great Britain, in mainland Europe and Scandinavia visiting fortified sites. For the past eight years he has been researching the much-neglected history of castles in his local area of Moray, visiting every site. He is the author of ‘Fortress Scotland’ and ‘Edinburgh Castle’. For this book he has liaised closely with archaeologists working on the Gask Ridge and elsewhere.
'The Romans in Scotland and The Battle of Mons Graupius’ by Simon
Forder is the sort of book you only come across occasionally. Short
of the unearthing of entirely new historical evidence in the
future, it provides as near to a truly definitive account of its
subject as anyone is ever likely to fit between the covers of a
book. The result is a remarkable achievement … totally
compelling.'
