'Forgotten' royal castle uncovered at Finlaggan on Islay Archaeologists say the fortress was owned by ancestors of Scotland's medieval Lord of the Isles.

I worked there in the 90s. They have done a lovely job and urge anyone interested in the Kingdom of the Isles to get a hold of the book published by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. The Archaeology of Finlaggan, Islay is available from the online shop

Poster hanging on a blue wall with wooden ceiling visible. Poster depicts a photo of a young woman (Queen Elizabeth) seated

Lucky enough to be at the opening of this exhibition at Queen's Gallery, Holyrood Palace. Fascinating overview of photographic techniques over the last century. Would have benefitted from more photographs in Scotland and some imagery or artefacts of the cameras they used at the time

Four dinosaur shaped mini cakes

One of the benefits of working in a multidisciplinary museum is that I occasionally indulge my passion for baking. Dinosaur cakes this time 🎂 🤩

Just remember it is a hagiography and comes with a health warning, as with all attempts to fit archaeology to 'history' (& it isn't a history, it is a biography) but have fun!

You can fit it to Tacitus but we know they were campaigning after Agricola (& indeed before in southern Scotland)

Trying to tie things specifically to Agricola is challenging but I assume you are familiar with Bill Hanson's Agricola & the conquest of the north and also look at Birgitta Hoffmann's archaeology vs history volume. Both good on the difficulties!
