Glimpses of winter's past from the collections of Elgin Museum in our new photo display at Elgin Museum @ no3 High Street - curling on the river Spey, skating on the river Lossie, what's your favourite winter memory?

As we're new here, you might not know what TAFAC does. As well as publications, we hold an annual conference on new archaeological discoveries. We'll share videos of our last conference in Perth soon, but here are some of our previous ones all the way back to 2016 www.tafac.org.uk/category/con...

Kirkton of Bourtie recumbent stone circle nr #Inverurie #Aberdeenshire #Scotland (2021)
It's badly damaged but has the longest known recumbent stone at c. 5.2m. Here Oliver is replacing the missing western flanker.

A #snowy #star for #Christmas! Corgarff #Castle was originally the fortified home of the Forbeses of Corgarff. Built in 1537, the castle was remodelled after 1745 and turned into a soldiers' barracks. New wings were added to each gable wall & it was enclosed by a star-shaped curtain wall.

Another great pic of #archaeology in #winter in #aberdeenshire: #prehistoric hut circles & a field system at Jericho. You can see one very distinct hut circle with two field walls or banks leading off it. Other possible hut circles or platforms are visible, field walls & stone clearance heaps.

We might not get a #WhiteChristmas this year, but how about some snowy #archaeology instead? This late-post medieval depopulated settlement is at Lynathort in #Aberdeenshire. The #snow highlights the building footings making them easier to see.
