You can check out this new article from our engagement officer @eddiecstewart.bsky.social (open source) here! While the article is based in Highland archaeology the arguments are relevant to many landscapes within the Clyde region at the forefront of our responses to climate change…

It was great to attend the celebrations for 10 years of the Glasgow #DYW and hear all about the amazing opportunities delivered by partners across the city. We worked with some great young people through the DYW in Glasgow’s East End and Southside to record what their local archaeology meant to them
