The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins of the Shetland Islands, the prehistoric settlements and burial sites that have been discovered, and the impact of Viking invasions on the region. Goudie's detailed descriptions of the various artifacts and structures found on the islands provide a fascinating window into the lives and customs of the people who lived there centuries ago.
