Volunteering
We hope to be back out on site in 2016....watch this space....
The Cromarty Medieval Burgh Community Archaeology Project is open to all volunteers from age 6 up. No previous experience is necessary, and there is plenty of supervision on-site from archeologistis happy to pass on skills!
