Our summer of excavations continues on this week. Our Archaeology and History Club have been hard at work uncovering walls at the site and starting to reveal some of it’s interesting history. Due to the location of the site, there has been lots of fieldstone to remove from the topsoil which has been extra hard work during the heatwave which Scotland experienced this week!
The excavation will be continuing for another week, we look forward to discovering more exciting finds and features during this time! The gallery below shows a few shots of what the group were working on (and a very high-tech technique to block the sun when taking site photographs…).
On Thursday some of our Young Archaeologist’s club paid a visit to the excavation, it is wonderful to be able to provide the group with some hands on excavation experience.
Our Monday memories group were discussing school photographs again this week and had a school friend visiting from Norway which was lovely for them all.
Have a look for our double page feature in the July/August Bridge magazine. It contains information about public consultation activities taking place this summer. Thank you to our funders The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Museums Galleries Scotland, The Gannochy Trust, and SSE for the support in undertaking this redevelopment project.
Our June living history event takes place this Sunday, a small number of tickets are still available.
Tickets are also available for our Prehistoric Ceramics event on the 29th of July.
