A LASTING LEGACY 🌟 Archaeologist Audrey Henshall was known for her pioneering work on chambered cairns. On her death, she made a bequest to the Society to fund research on pre-Roman archaeology in Scotland, from which we've now awarded our first grant: socantscot.org/uncategorized/…

Standing stones are the main legacy of the Picts, who lived in Scotland over 1,100 years ago – but did they leave behind a manuscript as well? 📘 Explore the links between the Picts and the Book of Kells at this Tarbat Discovery Centre event on 30 January: digitscotland.com/events/uncover…
