Join us for April's lecture on Richard III...
It's a GAS...
Following an international appeal to raise the £1.98 million needed to secure the Galloway Hoard for the National Museums Scotland (NMS) on behalf of the nation, the target has been reached with two weeks to spare before the deadline.
Over the last four years work has been progressing at Burnswark Hill in east Dumfriesshire to re-investigate previous assumptions about this enigmatic site which consists of a 17 acre Iron Age Hillfort straddled by two very unusual Roman camps.
