Step into the past with
Highland Archaeology Fortnight 2006
30th September - 15th October 2006
Programmes for the 13th
annual Highland Archaeology Fortnight are hot off the press this week and
the event’s organisers are urging archaeology followers to get their
copies now.
The two week event takes
place between Saturday 30th September - Sunday 15th
October, with a diverse range of 156 events taking place throughout the
Highlands.
The festival, which
celebrates the archaeology, history and culture of the Highlands, has a
packed programme of guided walks, talks, children’s and special events for
people of all ages to enjoy.
Co-ordinated by The
Highland Council’s Archaeology Unit in the Planning and Development
Service, the festival’s events are organised by a wide range of community
groups, interested individuals, museums and professional bodies such as
Historic Scotland, Forestry Commission Scotland and the National Trust for
Scotland.
Councillor Sandy Park,
Chairman of The Highland Council’s Planning, Development Europe and
Tourism Committee said: “This year’s programme has a fascinating range of
interesting events on offer during Highland Archaeology Fortnight. By
stepping into the past we have a lot to look forward to in Highland
Archaeology as we will hear at the closing seminar on the 14th
and 15th October.”
Andrew Puls, Highland
Council’s Historic Environment Record Officer said: “The popularity of
Highland Archaeology Fortnight just goes on from strength to strength.
Recent television programmes have popularised archaeology by bringing it
into people’s homes making it more accessible and interesting to a whole
new set of people.
“Highland Archaeology
Fortnight is a great opportunity for people to get out of their armchairs
and into the field to discover their local cultural heritage and to see
for themselves what is going on in their own area.
“Thanks go to our many
sponsors as well all the local societies, museums and individuals without
whose dedication and support Archaeology Fortnight would not be possible.”
As a grand finale to
Highland Archaeology Fortnight, a seminar, “What’s New in Highland
Archaeology", will be held at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel, Church Street,
Inverness on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th October.
The event is free and members of the public are invited to come along and
find out about the recent archaeological discoveries and research in the
Highlands.
