Project Update – 15/06/21 – The Hampden Collection

On the last day of the 1st dig, Archaeology Scotland scored a brilliant goal. All you have to do is read all about it here.

The result might not have been what we hoped for at the football yesterday but we absolutely scored with the archaeology at #FirstHampden last week! We discovered the foundations of the stadium, pavilion & parts of the wire fence that went around the pitch! #ScotArchStrat #SCO pic.twitter.com/5ZA87IBOCo

Not only that but the dig and site were subject to extensive media coverage. Here is Paul Murtagh being interviewed by Chick Young from the BBC.
