Step into a story carved into Scotland’s landscape and carried through centuries of memory. The Last People on Earth invites you on a powerful journey back almost 2,000 years, to a defining moment in Scotland’s history: the battle of Mons Graupius.
A new show by celebrated Scottish storyteller Andy Cannon, who with his trademark warmth and wit breathes life into this ancient encounter between the Caledonians and the unstoppable force of the Roman Empire. The Last People on Earth blends storytelling, original music and the latest archaeological insights to unearth glimpses of truth buried deep in time.
What really happened on that distant day? How did this moment shape the story of a nation? Whose voices have endured — and whose have been lost?
