Scottish Archaeology Month
Celebrate the Year of Homecoming, by retracing the journey of how the Scots created hearth, home and heritage from the earliest Mesolithic sites to the tenements of our recent industrial past. Archaeology Scotland brings the story of Scotland's past to life this autumn!
Throughout September, Archaeology Scotland will be laying on hundreds of free activities all over the country in a public festival of Scottish archaeology.
You'll be able to join the team and be an archaeologist for the day, learn how to make fire like your ancestors did, or enjoy one of the many lectures, exhibitions or guided walks designed to bring you closer to the ancient and historic sites and monuments of Scotland's past. We even have a separate programme of events just for schools as well as information and resources for schools who wish to create their own celebration of Scottish archaeology. For more information look out for the SAM National Events Guide or check out the Archaeology Scotland website on www.archaeologyscotland.org.uk
Whether you want to get your hands dirty digging the past, discover treasures in your local museum or meet the experts in your village hall, Scottish Archaeology Month has something for you; and the best bit is, it's all free!
Scottish Archaeology Month is co-ordinated by Archaeology Scotland with support from Historic Scotland.
