The book reflects on the transitions between various prehistoric periods, such as the Stone, Bronze, Iron, and Christian periods, delving into archaeological evidence to trace the history and character of Scotland's people. It aims to establish a comprehensive system of Scottish archaeology, presenting its importance as the key to understanding significant historical truths. The opening of the work begins with a dedication to a prominent member of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, emphasizing the author's intention to uncover and present vital aspects of Scotland's archaeological heritage. Wilson discusses the revival of archaeological interest in Europe and critiques the traditional approach to history that often ignored the significance of pre-written periods. He sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Scotland's prehistoric past, highlighting the need for a methodical study of antiquities as essential to reconstructing the narrative of human history in Scotland—a narrative that had long been overshadowed by written records from later periods.
