The Making of Standing With Stones
Michael Bott and Rupert Soskin share a passion for archaeology, and
in 2001 they teamed up to create a film exploring the richness and
variety of our nation’s prehistoric monuments and the people
who built them. The film itself is reaching completion and through
this website you can get a taste of what is to come and keep an eye
on the final leg of their journey as they work their way through the
North and Scotland.
