30 August 2014, Starts: 10:30, Ends: 16:30

SCAPE developed Scotland’s Coastal Heritage at Risk Project so that we could involve more people to more effectively tackle this important national issue. Our philosophy is that eroding coastal heritage provides opportunities for anyone to enjoy and benefit from taking part in archaeological and historical exploration and discovery.

On 30th August there will be a training workshop for those who have not participated or would like a refresher, at Durness Village Hall.

A highly interactive workshop where you will learn everything you need to know about becoming a volunteer with the project.
Following a short introduction to the project and to local coastal heritage, we will learn how to use the Sites at Risk web portal and the app to access records and contribute your own surveys.
After lunch, we will visit a nearby coastal archaeological site to practise a survey.
Time permitting, we will return to the Village Hall and submit our practise surveys.
Please bring your own laptop if you have one as well as a smart phone or tablet if you have one. We also have spares of everything, so don't worry if you don't.
Bring a packed lunch, and dress for the weather.

Booking essential. Contact info@scharp.co.uk or telephone 01334 462904 to book your place.
