Project (1 January 2008 - 31 December 2008)
The RCAHMS aerial survey programme has continued through 2008 with a mix of archaeological and architectural recording. Highlights included recording along the Waverley Line through the Borders, and some spectacular returns from summer reconnaissance in the west. Summer 2008 was characterised by relatively unusual conditions that saw the west enjoy dry and warm conditions while the east was generally damp. This produced good cropmarkings in the Rhins of Galloway, in the Campbeltown area and on Islay. In the Rhins there was a good mix of previously recorded sites and new discoveries, while reconnaissance across Islay and around the area from Campbeltown to Machrihanish produced an excellent suite of previously unrecorded plough levelled monuments.
