Keeping the Coast Clear
February 3, 2022
During Scottish Archaeology Month our good friends at AOC Archaeology and Solway Firth Partnership organised a series of online talks as part of the Rhins Revealed Online project.
The talks were recorded and are now available to all who missed them in September, or those who want to hear them again! Two talks will help your own archaeological investigations of the Rhins using online mapping resources and LiDAR technology. The third talk looked at the place-names of the Rhins and their origins.
