Back from a day excavating near Stirling in search of a possible Roman site. Found some interesting features but unlikely to be Roman but we've got another area to explore next year. Here's one of the test trenches

I'd forgotten how exhausting excavating can be. Admittedly I spent more time traipsing across fields and looking at the landscape rather than digging but a few interesting things were noted. Hopefully more news tomorrow.

Went digging, found some interesting this, stepped in lots of cow pats, drove home stinking, now exhausted. Had such a great day. Hopefully some more good news tomorrow

I'm afraid not for this one but I'll suggest it to the team for future events. Alan is doing an online talk for @Trimontium and I'm doing one for History Scotland on 9 October if that helps.

Have spent the past couple of days lecturing on a cruise ship. Spent half the morning gripping onto the lecture then a table as the ship rocked heavily in the sway. Here's a wee shot of Staffa and Fingal's Cave
