When is this event?
From Hunter Gatherer to Early Christian
This summer we are delving deep into the past and exploring the world of ancient peoples. With evidence of the very first people to encounter our landscape as the ice age came to an end, we will chart time with fantastic local finds. We are borrowing archaeology from the National Museum of Scotland, Inverness Museum, The Highland Folk Museum and others all of which have been found along our stretch of the Spey.
We are also really pleased to have an amazing replica of the beautiful Monymusk Reliquary to display, taking our story up to Pictish times and the beginning of Christianity.
We have a raft of brilliant replica objects to uncover and will be exploring our ancient landscape with a series of walks or drives to see the many remnants of structures that have been left behind. Symbol stones, burial cairns, hill forts and early church sites are all waiting to be discovered.
Go to our website for open times and other special events over the summer.
