Prof. Steve and UofG Archaeology students are BACK for training excavations in our 1,500-year-old churchyard! They'd love you to visit this week and weekend to ask them about the latest archaeological discoveries π£βοΈπ³




βοΈ It's a bit dreich today, but it's nice and dry inside Govan Old! Come see our stunning collection of Viking-Age carved stones from the lost kingdom of the Strathclyde Britons and the last weekend of the UofG Archaeology dig in our 1,500-year-old graveyard. 11am-4pm, free entry!


π¨ Sunday 15th is the LAST DAY of the June dig in Govan Old's 1,500-year-old graveyard! βοΈ See the UofG Archaeology excavations between c. 11am-4pm for a FREE tour of the early medieval trenches; it's the perfect complement to our Viking-Age carved stones inside our A-listed church.



βοΈ Some VERY intriguing contexts beginning to emerge around The Structure and our early medieval processional roadway... Great work in the June 2025 season by the brill archaeologists from UofG Archaeology and our Govan Stones volunteers, all led by Prof. Steve Driscoll!

π Join Astonishing Glasgow on Sunday the 29th of June for a wonderful tour of #Glasgow that includes visits to the Govan Stones and Fairfield Heritage ππ¨πΌβπβοΈπ’!
