First ARCH newsletter of 2013 out now

21 January 2013

ARCH january 2013 newsletterI'm sure that you'll all be pleased to hear that an end of our three-year Stop, Look and Listen project doesn't mean the end of ARCH. We've got a variety of courses workshops and lectures on offer in our January newsletter, and we're always very keen to hear from individuals and communities about how we might work with you. We can offer stand alone courses, and are also very happy to discuss how we might be able to help you by adding on community  activities and workshops to projects that you might be developing.

 
The newsletter gives you an idea of how wide a remit ARCH can cover, and we're always open to new suggestions.
 
We've several events coming up in the next couple of weeks that promise to be really interesting - and useful too! 
 
The first is a talk by Forestry Commission Scotland Archaeologist Matt Richie on Monday 28 January at 19.30 in Dingwall Community Centre. He'll be giving a whistle stop tour of the archaeology of Scotland's forest estate that will include late Neotlihic four poster stone circles, Iron Age duns and vitrified forts, medieval mottes and 18th century military bridges. Generously he will also be giving away copies of the publication on which his talk is based.
 
On Wednesday 30 January you'll be able to learn about using heritage databases, such as the Historic Environment Record and RCAHMS Canmore, with Susan Kruse at the Cornerstone Cafe in Evanton at 19.00
 
and on Saturday 2 February Lynne McKeggie will be holding the first of four workshops on Ancient Crafts in Dingwall Community Centre from 10.30 to 15.30.
 
Full details of all these, and more can be downloaded in the Newsletter.
