Revelations from Hidden Tain
15 November 2011
Apple scrumping, two storey cellars, bee boles in walls and hangman’s rigs - there’s been a few surprises coming out of Tain recently.
ARCH is working with the Tain Civic Trust and John Wood of Highland Archaeology Services on a scoping project, funded by the European Community Highland LEADER 2007-2013 Programme, to look at the potential for further historical and archaeological investigations of the Burgh of Tain.
Crucial to this work is the knowledge of people who live in Tain and the surrounding area. There has been an introductory meeting and one oral heritage session so far, ably led by Cait MacCullagh (pictured right), and with a fascinating array of knowledge from the participants in the evening.

. . . the teas and coffees are to be recommended too!
