Administrative History James Hewat Craw (1880-1933) possessed wide and varied interests in archaeology and natural history. He contributed numerous articles on historical and antiquarian subjects to the Journal of the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club of which he was a leading member, and to the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, of which he was secretary, particularly on subjects in the Border counties, Argyll and Orkney. He was active in both survey and excavation of archaeological sites, most notably at Dunadd (1929-30), Nether Largie (1930) and Broch of Gurness (1929-33), where he was employed by the Ministry of Works.
