For Doors Open Days we have teamed up with other organisations to celebrate Strathearn's Roman past! Find the brochure on @PKHeritageTrust's website: pkht.org.uk/doors-open-days Our 'Roman Strathearn' event is sponsored by the The Gannochy Trust and Edinburgh Archaeology.
Another interesting turf structure going up. It's been great working with folk from Comrie Croft, Edinburgh Archaeology and Abercairny to throw up this new structure ahead of Crieff & Strathearn Museum's Roman Stratearn Doors Open Days event at the Croft this Saturday.
Enjoy self-cycle tours of Roman Strathearn sites during Doors Open Days this weekend, starting at Comrie Croft Bikes.

Comrie Croft in Perth & Kinross is a farm steading that has been transformed into a permaculture croft buzzing with life! 🐝🦆 Explore the farm, tea garden and mountain bike trials and help archaeologists from The University of Edinburgh build a Roman turf wall: bit.ly/3hFlTDw
Another week, another turf build. What a joy to build this 'roundhouse' turf bench at Comrie Croft for Edinburgh ArchSoc ahead of Crieff & Strathearn Museum's 'Roman Strathearn' Doors Open Days event, coordinated in Perth and Kinross by @PKHeritageTrust.

Timber splitting, branch cutting and bank leveling, all in the name of turd building for Doors Open Days today at Comrie Croft. Stay tuned for updates on the rampart going up!
That just flew up! Interlacing turf with thin branches apparently helped the Romans cast up their ramparts very quickly. Gave it a first trim to tidy up the sides, and back tomorrow for finishing touches. Thanks for a great day Edinburgh ArchSoc, @HGendersBoyd and Comrie Croft
Have we found two survivors of Rome’s lost legion kicking aboot in Crieff? 🧐 Today Innerpeffray Library are taking visitors through a day in the life of a Roman soldier...do you think you have what it takes? ⚔️ Learn more: bit.ly/3kmDd1N
They're really quite friendly folk, these Romans... Was great to have the The Antonine Guard over at Innerpeffray Library as part of our 'Roman Strathearn', made possible by The Gannochy Trust.
A beautiful end to Doors Open Days. Big thanks to Scottish Civic Trust for coordinating, @PKHeritageTrust for bringing it to P&K and our volunteers, sponsors and venues for making it happen in Strathearn!
