Some of our students took part in a fieldtrip earlier this week, visiting sites around Perthshire.
Accompanied by lecturer and undergraduate programme leader Dr Ben Elliot and ORCA’s Dan Lee, the students stopped at the Cateran Ecomuseum and Pitlochry dam before heading to Meigle, and a visit to Vanora’s mound and the Pictish symbol stone museum.
This was followed by a trip to Barry Hill Fort and the prehistoric archaeology around Lair – ring cairns, hut circles and burial mounds – as well as abandoned medieval buildings and townships.
Then it was off to Spittal of Glenshee and the Grave of Diarmid four-poster stone circle and standing stone before finishing the day at MacBeth’s Stone, Belmont.
If you are interested in archaeology, our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees are now enrolling for a start in September 2024. Click here for details.
