Ten years after the walk across Central Asia and Afghanistan that he memorialized in The Places in Between, Rory Stewart set out on a new journey, traversing a thousand miles between England and Scotland. Stewart was raised along the border of the two countries, the frontier taking on poignant significance in his understanding of what it means to be both Scottish and English, of his relationship with his father, who's lived on this land his whole life, and of his ties to the rich history and culture of the region.

熊本県南東部の五家荘は、険しい山に囲まれた秘境。壇ノ浦で敗れた平家が落ち延び隠れ住んだが、源頼朝の命を受けた那須与一の息子・小太郎が、追討にやって来た。それを知った鬼山御前なる平家の女官は、仲間を討たせまいと、何とか小太郎を引き留める。彼女は元の名を玉虫御前といい、那須与一が屋島で射た扇を、舟上で用意した女官であった。やがて二人は結ばれてここで暮らし、その子孫の那須家は今も続いている。彼女を祀る神社もあり、巨乳で乳の出も良かったという伝承により、乳の神として崇められている。また、五家荘という地名の由来は、五つの集落にそれぞれの庄屋がいるためで、うち三つが平家の子孫を名乗る。残り二つは、菅原道真の子孫という。藤原時平の讒言により左遷された道真は、大宰府で憤死したが、復讐を恐れた時平は二人の子らを討とうとした為、五家荘へ逃れ土着したと伝わる。こうして「落人の隠れ里」となった五家荘だが、やがて人口が増えて食糧が不足し、隠れ住むのも限界となり、武力で名を馳せた阿蘇大宮司家へ同盟を申し出て、武装化する。一般には戦を忘れて平和に暮らしたというイメージのある「落人の里」だが、実際には武装し、血筋の尊さを伝え、いつか再興する事を夢見続けた、覇気と執念に満ちた集落なのだ。「落人」の実態に迫り、その現代的意義を考える。

Fourteen centuries ago, Irish saints brought the Word of God to the Hebrides and Scotland's Atlantic shore. These "white martyrs" sought solitude, remoteness, even harshness, in places apart from the world where they could fast, pray, and move closer to an understanding of God: places where they could see angels. Columba, who founded the famous monastery at Iona, was the most well-known of these courageous men who rowed their curraghs towards danger and uncertainty in a pagan land, but the many others are now largely forgotten by history.

岐阜県の飛騨・美濃両地域の神社仏閣に、「両面宿儺（りょうめんすくな）」の伝説がある。彼は、二つの顔に、各四本の手足を持つ超人で、日本書紀にも仁徳朝の飛騨に現れたと書かれている。書紀では、人民を害し、朝廷に従わず討たれたとされ、岐阜県内の神社においても、書紀に近い伝承を伝える事が多い。一方、県内の寺院においては、善政を施した豪族や、龍を討った英雄、観音の化身などとして語られる。最も有名な伝承地は、円空作の宿儺像が残る、高山市東部、丹生川の千光寺だ。丹生川の北アルプスの麓には、宿儺が出現したという洞窟もある。高山市街、日本三大夜祭・高山祭で有名な桜山八幡宮他、美濃から丹生川へ至るルート沿いには、朝廷軍の進軍を伝える八社の八幡神社が鎮座する。高山市南部の飛騨一宮・水無神社には驚くべき伝承がある。ここでは「七儺（しちな）」という女の龍を宿儺が討ったとされているが、中世の記録によれば、水無神社の神体山・位山に宿儺が降臨し、神武天皇に皇位を授けたという。位山は、古代の祭祀遺構である巨石が数多く存在し、飛騨こそ大和以前の皇室のルーツだとする「異端」の説もある。「堕落論」で有名な坂口安吾氏も、宿儺や「飛騨王朝説」について調査し著述している。聖俗の交錯する異形の超人伝承の謎に挑む。

We shipped two British Jeeps 3,500 miles back to the USA, before embarking on a 5,500-mile coast-to-coast road-trip from New York to LA. Along the way, we tackled the world-famous trails of Moab, took a tour of the nearby national parks, and sampled a few of Colorado's most scenic byways. Over the course of three weeks we were almost arrested, swallowed by a tornado, and nearly mugged in Las Vegas. The Jeeps broke down, caught fire, and were nearly confiscated. But we also met some incredible people, all of whom contributed in their own way to this story.

東京より南へ358km、伊豆諸島有人島最南端の青ヶ島。 一番近い有人島の八丈島からでも、南に65km離れている絶海の孤島。 行政区分としては一島一村の青ヶ島村より成り、 人口約170人、日本で最も人口の少ない市区町村となっている。 島の周囲を絶壁のような山に取り囲まれた島で、船を泊める場所にも窮する。 八丈島からの定期船はあるが、接岸が難しく、就航率は6割程度。 八丈島からの1日1往復のヘリコプターが主たる交通手段。 昭和の30年代でも月に一度しか船が来ず、完全な自給自足社会であり、 赴任した小学教師が「明治時代に逆戻りだ」と逃げ出そうとした程だった。 また青ヶ島は火山島であり、島の内側はカルデラとなっている。 絶壁のような山が外輪山となって、カルデラの内部にさらに火山がある。 この火山が江戸時代に大噴火し、多くの犠牲者を出した。 生き残った全島民も八丈島で五十年に渡って避難生活を送った。 五十年後島民を率いて「還住」を果たした名主を、 柳田國男は「青ヶ島のモーセ」と讃えている。 こんな過酷な環境の青ヶ島には、それゆえに、古より特殊な信仰が伝わる。 あちこちに祠があり、御幣が立てられる青ヶ島は、「神の島」と呼ばれている。 島の巫女は、舞い踊るうちに神憑り、悪霊を祓い人々を癒すシャーマン、呪医だった。 島の総鎮守、大里神社では、鬼面の子が女面の母を蘇生させるという筋書きの...
