Current Projects Find out about our latest digs. Carbon dating Dating our past. Surveying and excavating sites in advance of coastal erosion in the Northern Isles, and deflation of machair sites in the Western Isles, and investigation of plough-flattened landscapes in Angus have been strong themes of the past few years. Much of the work we do is carried out in partnership with Universities and Trusts. We are very conscious of the need to involve local communities wherever feasible and the continuing Shorewatch project in particular is based on the idea of supporting local groups to monitor coastal erosion of archaeological sites. Shorewatch is run by two organisations with grant-aid from us, SCAPE, based at the Centre for Environmental History and Policy in St Andrews , and the Council for Scottish Archaeology based at the National Museums of Scotland In addition to supporting the National Monuments Record for Scotland in providing information to the public, we grant-aid local authority Sites and Monuments Records, and provide funding for advice to people on matters ranging from farm grants to how to record and preserve the carved stones which embellish Scotland's churchyards and landscapes. A small but increasing amount will be spent on understanding what people want from, and how they react to, important ancient monuments.

50. The Shiant Isles Home Page All about the archaeology, geology, and natural history of the Shiant Isles in North West scotland, in connection with the book 'Sea Room' by Adam Nicolson, the owner of ths Isles. http://www.shiantisles.net/

The Shiants are a small group of islands in the Hebrides, in North West Scotland, four miles or so off the coast of Lewis and 12 from the northern tip of Skye, which lies almost due south of them. They are one of the marvels of the Hebrides and their owner, Adam Nicolson, has recently published a book about them under the title of Sea Room . As he says there, the book is 'an attempt to tell the whole story, as I now understand it, of a tiny place in as many dimensions as possible: geologically, spiritually, botanically, historically, culturally, aesthetically, ornithologically, etymologically, emotionally, politically, socially, archaeologically and personally.' Not everything that has been written or discovered about the islands could be fitted within the covers of the book and so this website works as a kind of annexe, in which anyone who is interested can read further into the background and details of this extraordinary place. Visit professional photographer Charles Tait's website to see more photos of the islands.

Dumfriesshire, Scotland A Partial History of a Scottish Parish The parish of Holywood is located 3 miles north of Dumfries in Dumfriesshire, south-west Scotland. It consists of a small village of some eighty houses, with church, church hall, general shop and primary school, pockets of estates and cottages, and farms covering an area of approximately 9 miles (east-west) by 1-3 miles (north-south). The area has a history of habitation stretching back to Neolithic times, as evidenced by the largest stone circle on the Scottish mainland ('The Twelve Apostles'), and evidence of henges, earthworks, burials and enclosures. Holywood was a well-known religious centre during the Middle Ages owing to its Premonstratensian abbey, of which little trace remains today.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON Celtic Inscribed Stones Language, Location And Environment Department of History Institute of Archaeology The CISP database is now online Celtic Inscribed Stones Project (CISP) The Project (CISP) is a joint project of the Department of History and the Institute of Archaeology under the direction of Prof. Wendy Davies in collaboration with Prof. James Graham-Campbell. The project was funded by the Humanities Research Board, the Arts and Humanities Research Board and University College London. The project currently has two research fellows : Kris Lockyear and Mark Handley. CISP is undertaking a collaborative, interdisciplinary study of Medieval Celtic inscriptions. One of its main objectives is the compilation of an accessible, comprehensive and authoritative database of all known inscriptions. By bringing this material together in one place and making it readily available our goal is to turn what is a largely untapped resource into usable material. Additionally, field work has been undertaken by Katherine Forsyth (former Research Fellow), Kris Lockyear, Mark Handley, Paul Kershaw (former Research Fellow), James Graham-Campbell and Wendy Davies on the material from Brittany and the Channel Islands which will lead to a published corpus The Material The scope of the project is the Celtic-speaking regions of the early middle ages, (Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man, and parts of western England, in the period approximately AD 400-1100). Included are all stone monuments inscribed with text, whether in the Celtic vernacular or Latin, in the Roman alphabet or ogham (but excluding runic inscriptions). This material constitutes primary data of unique evidential value to historians, archaeologists, historical geographers, palaeographers, epigraphers, art historians, medieval Latinists and Celtic linguists.
