You& #39;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

This">https://www.centreforstewardship.org.uk/archaeolo... 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 Fifehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="๐Ÿคฉ" title="Star-struck" aria-label="Emoji: Star-struck">
