​

And so 'official' 2023 begins. We have a talk on the 30th ('Droning on about climate change: erosion and Shetland’s coastal archaeology'), a walk for members on the 8th of April (Old Scatness) and a busy, busy year ahead. Highlights will be field recording of some prehistoric structures, clean and records at a couple of high profile sites and, as ever, participation in full excavation to go along with some wonderful walks and thoughtful talks. Don't be afraid to join us if you'd like to take part in the exciting programme we have for 2023.

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.

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.

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.
