As the ancient Book of Deer, containing the oldest surviving example of written Scottish Gaelic, returns to its roots in the North East of Scotland, will its presence bring success to the latest attempts by archaeologists to discover the site of the monastery in which it was written?
Four years after their last attempt, a dedicated group of archaeologists and volunteers heads to an Aberdeenshire field to dig for, and painstakingly uncover, artefacts which they hope will allow the site of the Deer Monastery to finally be identified.
If hope and enthusiasm could bring things to light, then this would be an easy search. Instead, it is dogged determination and academic rigour that is required. As the clock ticks on, the visit of the Book itself to the North East and on the allotted time for the dig, will this team finally discover the location of the book’s creation?
