In the far North of Scotland, at the heart of one of the most important sacred sites of the ancient world, archaeologists are unearthing an amazing 5,000 year-old religious temple complex, the first painted wall art ever seen from the Stone Age in Europe and the precious objects that the builders left. This documentary asks: who built these great monuments? How were they used? And what did these people believe?
