I worked there in the 90s. They have done a lovely job and urge anyone interested in the Kingdom of the Isles to get a hold of the book published by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. The Archaeology of Finlaggan, Islay is available from the online shop

'Forgotten' royal castle uncovered at Finlaggan on Islay

Archaeologists say the fortress was owned by ancestors of Scotland's medieval Lord of the Isles.

And to add, this has been part of the Hidden Voices project a few of us have been working on @joanavaldez.bsky.social @jeffsanders.bsky.social especially Elliot Knell. Joana will be speaking about it at ARP on 3 May 2025 in Edinburgh @socantscot.bsky.social @archscot.bsky.social

When I was helping write up the Charles Thomas excavations on Iona, we added blurbs on the later careers of the diggers. I found next to nothing available online or print on the amazing Elizabeth Fowler (Burley to 1959), so I'm proud to have contributed to her new Wiki @trowelblazers.bsky.social

Loved the approach to #heritageinterpretation for ancient #Egypt but too much queuing between sections

Lucky enough to be at the opening of this exhibition at Queen's Gallery, Holyrood Palace. Fascinating overview of photographic techniques over the last century. Would have benefitted from more photographs in Scotland and some imagery or artefacts of the cameras they used at the time
