Good friends on this project, and a beautiful restoration and conservation of this fine tower in Scotland. Also a great example of, what you see now (bare stone walls) is not what it was intended to be.

Plus an awesome new painted ceiling

Many of you will have heard of the sudden and sad loss of one of the foundation pillars of archaeology today. So much of our Heritage landscape was shaped by him. So let's take a moment to remember him, and what his legacy is.
