There’s a veritable cornucopia of institute faces in a 2022 documentary series on prehistoric Scotland, now available to view online.

Back in 2022, historian Tristan Hughes visited Orkney to film part of the Mysteries of Prehistoric Scotland. Although the three programmes were initially for History Hit TV subscribers, the full series can now be viewed by all as a single, two-hour long documentary.

In it we hear from, among others, Professor Jane Downes, the director of the UHI Institute, at the Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae; Dr Antonia Thomas at the Unstan stalled cairn; Nick Card at the Ness of Brodgar; Roy Towers on Grooved Ware pottery and Martin Carruthers at the Broch of Gurness.
