Ness of Brodgar Excavations — Excavations at the Ness of Brodgar resume next week.

Young people in Orkney are being given the opportunity to take part in one of the island’s most exciting archaeological digs.

The Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (ORCA) and World Heritage Site (WHS) Rangers Service have teamed up to offer young people the chance to learn more about the Ness of Brodgar excavations by taking part in a series of archaeology workshops running this summer.

The workshops, open to young people aged between 12 and 16, are being held on July 26, and August 2, 9 and 16. There are a limited number of places available each day so booking is essential.

Contact the rangers on 841732 for further information.
