There are a couple of members working an Archaeology day for Historic Scotland's countryside Rangers at Holyrood Park on the 27th. It's part of their Archaeology month series.
I'm supposed to be demo-ing 'primitive' firelighting techniques, and a bit about natural dyes, etc.,
If you're free and want to come by and play, then I should be set up in front of the Ranger's centre building.

Time....10 until 3, though we usually overrun a bit.
The Rangers and the volunteers put on loads of hands on activities, there's a walk up the crags to meet interesting characters and I get to play with fire Only downside is I have to wear a skirt as in Iron age style
It's a good way to spend a few hours though.
cheers,
Toddy
