ARCH Highland

02 June 2018

A symposium with plenty of time for discussion focussing on Highland Archaeology from earliest settlers to the 20th century. The conference launches the Highland Regional ScARF project, which over three years will research and explore Highland Archaeology, assessing what we know, how we differ from the National ScARF (http://www.scottishheritagehub.com), and what are the major areas for future research.

The conference will take place at Council Chamber, Highland Council Headquarters, Glenurquhart Road, Inverness. Further details are available by clicking here. The event is free, and lunches can be booked for £5.25. A booking form can be found in the Document Library on the website.
