On Sunday 16th September the Society participated in this national event,
organised by the Council for Scottish Archaeology. Our event, the Lanark and
District Archaeological Roadshow aimed to explain the history and
archaeology of Lanark and surrounding district. There were a number of
activities including a touch table, courtesy of Biggar Museum Trust, and
opportunities to try bronze age spinning and pottery making. Displays described
the work of the Society and detailed the excavation of the Friary in Lanark and
detailed the ongoing Mills Survey.
There were a number of lectures throughout the day.
The Archaeology of Clydesdale Tam Ward
Roman Lanark Ed Archer
Lanark and Wallace Ian Borthwick
The guided walks: Historical Lanark by Paul Archibald and Wallace's Lanark by Scott Main, were both well attended but suffered due to a sudden downpour that commenced as soon as they started.
