Whiteadder: The Historic Heart of the Lammermuirs
Garvald Village Hall Thursday 12 September 6pm
In 2019 and 2020, an exciting new archaeology project takes place across East Lothian and the Scottish Borders. Making use of newly-acquired, high-resolution LiDAR data, this new study will provide a new insight into the landscape history of the Lammermuir Hills. Many new archaeological and historical sites will be recorded for the first time, and some of the area’s most spectacular forts, castles and farmsteads will be seen in a new light. The project is a collaborative community initiative: come along to hear how you can get involved in investigating the archaeology of the Lammermuirs and learning more about the history that has shaped the way they appear today.
For more information about the project visit: www.whiteadder.aocarchaeology.com

The Treasures of Traprain

This guided walk accompanies the Treasures from the Hoard exhibition on now at the John Gray Centre: www.johngraycentre.org/ about/museums-service/exhibitions/ treasures-from-the-hoard/
Please note the path is steep in places and there are Exmoor ponies grazing on the Law.
