Archaeology Survey at Rychallich, Tulloch
With Archaeologist Tam Barton & Melanie Clouston , Explore Abernethy Ranger

Date - Sat 15th - Mon 17th Oct

Rychallich is an abandoned croft at Tulloch near Nethy Bridge which was inhabited until the 1950s and was home to locally famous characters, energetic ceilidhs and was even connected with a murder in 1772.  The project will focus on detailed recording of the surviving remains as well as walking the surrounding landscape to look for further overgrown structures.

Those taking part must be ok with cross country walking and will need wellies and waterproofs (particularly for the last day).  It will also be necessary to take part in a 20 minute walk to the site each day.

BOOKING ESSENTIAL, for more information contact Tam on 07708210195.
