Kildrummy Castle Historic Scotland image & reconstruction mock-up showing missing D-Plan tower that was turned into a Chapel. Which doesn't make defensive sense. It may be this tower was damaged by the English siege in 1306. #KildrummyCastle

Guidance is now available in Scotland for clarifying how metal detectorists can positively contribute to our understanding of the past, and what landowners should know before allowing access. This is important, please spread the word. #NEPARC #Responsible #metaldetecting

Out at Loch Kinord for a four day evaluation of one of the Culblean hut circles! Check out the amazing work our level 3 students have done on clearing back the remains of the house! We’re hoping to characterise the remains and the impact woodland regeneration has had on the site

During the early 19th century, land 'improvements' led to some of Aberdeenshire's rural farmers becoming 'colonists' on the slopes of Bennachie. The last died in 1939, bringing an end to this remarkable story. To explore the ruins today, find out more: bailiesofbennachie.co.uk/files2/Colony_…

Constructed from around 4,500 years ago, the mostly red stones at this Aberdeenshire site may have been chosen to indicate a setting sun or even flames of cremation 🔥 It's just one of "many layers of symbolism" at the Tomnaverie Bronze Age stone circle: digitscotland.com/what-are-state…
