October 2nd

We have concluded what was a rather busy season with multiple walks, excavations, clean and records and a handful of talks. It's good to be back live with everyone! We do have our AGM upcoming (date to be determined) where we will deliver a final talk of 2022. To review some of what we have done visit our 'Site in Focus' page.

May 7th

We hosted our first walk of the season with tremendous weather, 'In Defence of Lerwick by Land, Sea & Air' which saw a rather robust attendance. It felt good to be outside again! Our next walk is the very rugged trek to Lang Clodie Wick on June 25th. See the Events page for details.

February 4th

We kicked off 2022 last night with a lecture from Author/Historian Samuel Sjoberg on his book Air Raid Islands: The Luftwaffe Over Shetland During World War Two. Despite some early technical difficulties, the stimulating presentation is an excellent companion to the book.

January 8th

Welcome to 2022! We have added a couple of articles as companion pieces to our Iron Age presentation, found here and here. We continue to work on a schedule of events for the new year which will commence with an online presentation in early February. Look for information on that in the coming week and stay hopeful for in-person events to fully resume in the spring.
