Talk by Jacquie Aitken

Brora Community Centre

Sponsored by Clyne Heritage Society. Lectures are open to all and there is usually a raffle (donations always welcome) - refreshments and admission are free.

Description:

Jacquie Aitken has become so synonomous with Brora’s Salt Pans that she hardly needs an introduction! She has been passionate about the Salt Pans since she first wondered what the building remains on the Back Beach were, when she played there as a child. Last Summer saw the 4th year of excavation, which revealed the remains of a quite spectacular building, which had been buried in the sand dunes for several centuries. Tonight, she will present the results of this fascinating, unique archaeological site which is now nationally important.
