A public dig was carried out, 3–6 August 2018, on the lawn in
front of Crathes Castle. The excavation consisted of twentyfour
1 x 1m test trenches with the aim of identifying structural
remains pertaining to earlier garden design. The excavation
included the participation of over 250 members of the public
of all ages and uncovered various artefacts dating from the
17th to the 20th century.
