Perth 800 - Perthshire Archaeology Month
Perthshire
A packed programme of guided walks, excavations,
exhibitions, and talks present a variety of ways in which to
engage with the wealth of archaeology around you. This year’s
programme has taken Perth 800 as a key theme, with many events
and activities organised to celebrate the history and
archaeology of Perth. The event is funded and organised by Perth
and Kinross Heritage Trust and runs alongside the Trust’s main
outreach programme relating to historic buildings: Doors Open
Days. The events in the 2010 programme come, as in previous
years, from a variety of sources including the Trust, the
Scottish Crannog Centre and Perth Museum and Art Gallery. In
particular, however, the Trust welcomes the ever increasing
contribution to the programme by local history and archaeology
societies. Contact - David Strachan Telephone - 01738 477081
