You can check out this new article from our engagement officer @eddiecstewart.bsky.social (open source) here!

While the article is based in Highland archaeology the arguments are relevant to many landscapes within the Clyde region at the forefront of our responses to climate change…

It was great to attend the celebrations for 10 years of the Glasgow #DYW and hear all about the amazing opportunities delivered by partners across the city. We worked with some great young people through the DYW in Glasgow’s East End and Southside to record what their local archaeology meant to them

Arbory Hill Fort, in South Lanarkshire, is one of the higher forts in Scotland. The inner stone-walled rampart has been inserted into the earlier bi-vallate fort, and the outer ramparts contain at least five entrances. #HillfortsWednesday

This sounds amazing! We'd love to have a Dendrochronology case study for the Clyde - and if you'd be willing a piece for the newsletter would be brilliant (as a teaser!). I'll drop you an email if that's ok?
