RCAHMS aerial reconnaissance continued its recent focus on the west coast, filling in gaps in coverage and, using a twin engine aircraft, enhancing the record for both St Kilda and Shetland. The partnership with Dr Colin Martin of the Morvern Maritime Centre and Dr Jonathan Benjamin of Wessex Archaeology Coastal and Marine has been maintained for the survey of maritime and coastal landscapes on the west coast. Unfortunately, the cropmark season was a washout due to the record wet year, although previously unknown sites were recorded on Islay and in Aberdeenshire. Non-archaeological recording focused on landscapes and buildings, predominately in central Scotland.
