Recent Archaeological Discoveries at the Wemyss Caves

A presentation by archaeologist Jo Hambly featuring the results from the 2019 community excavations when a team of volunteers from SWACS in partnership with the SCAPE Trust, University of St Andrews and with contributions from the University of Aberdeen carried out archaeological excavations in the Court Cave, Doo Cave and Sliding Cave, and the promontory adjacent to MacDuff’s Castle. The investigations have shed new light on the timing and nature of the activities in the caves during the period when the Pictish symbols may have been carved. They have also revealed new information about the medieval uses of the caves and thrown up more mysteries to ponder. Recorded live on 3rd May 2020.
