You'll all be used to the idea of archaeology digs at #EastLomondHillfort being a successful community archaeology project in Scotland. Right?

High schools across #Fife have been involved, 100s of volunteers and students trained, even a nice spot on #DiggingForBritain... 2/4
3/4 Read more about our project at East Lomond with @falklandestate http://www.centreforstewardship.org.uk/archaeology/ 

This is the first major dig at a hillfort in #Fife in over 50 years since Clatchard Craig in 1960! Other recent projects by our fiends @wemyss_caves mean exciting times for Pictish Fife🤩
4/4 Studying, writing and digging early medieval Scotland since the 1990s, I was first aware of #EastLomondHillfort in work of the late Prof Leslie Alcock

For community heritage projects, in terms of education and historic environment, best outcomes are based on strong research.
