We're delighted to be exhibiting at the IHBC Annual School 2026 in Newcastle on Friday 19 June.

If you're attending, do come and say hello. You'll find us at Stand 4 in The Map Room during the Day School breaks. We're looking forward to catching up with colleagues and meeting new faces from across the conservation sector. Looks like we'll be in excellent company with this year's fellow exhibitors.

Any budding archaeologists?

⛏️🏔️ East Lomond Excavations 2026 🏔️⛏️

Plans are underway for the 2026 excavations on East Lomond, organised by Falkland Stewardship Trust in partnership with Aberdeen University!

Following the success of the 2024 and 2025 digs — which uncovered exciting new insights into the hill’s Iron Age and Pictish past — this year promises to be just as fascinating.

The dig will once again be led by Joe Fitzpatrick and Professor Gordon Noble, and will run from Monday 6th July to Friday 17th July 📅

We’re offering 3-day slots for volunteer excavators, giving as many people as possible the chance to take part in this popular community programme.
💷 Cost: £36 per person (includes all kit and training)

Interested? Submit your Expression of Interest form to be in with a chance of joining! https://falklandestate.co.uk/east-lomond-archaeology-dig-2026/ #

⚠️ The dig is always oversubscribed, so to be in with a chance, please apply by Friday 1st May 2026.

Good luck — and we hope to see you on the hill! 💚
