Dropping back in here to share this exciting news as I mainly lurk on Bksy nowadays. We go again - expanding the concept behind Uist Unearthed to two new island landscapes! Excited to build on what we learned from the previous project.

@RevRichardColes woohoo! cross stores is the far superior black pudding imho

Oh, now this is fun! Your name in Landsat! ❤️ landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/apps/YourNameI…

@EddieCStewart @UofGlasgow @UofGArchaeo @GCBeale @Blinkymanx @RachelOpitz congratulations!

Pleased to say I passed my viva on Wednesday (almost) wrapping up 4 years of fun at @UofGlasgow @UofGArchaeo! Thanks to Dr Eugene Costello and @GCBeale for examining my thesis - and Dr Michael Given, @Blinkymanx and @RachelOpitz for supervising.

@hannahfluck Wahey!!! Congrats Dr Venture💚

Today my fabulous PhD student passed her viva with minor corrections. She's navigated covid disrupting her original plans and a myriad of other challenges and delivered a truly novel contribution to heritage management. I could not be prouder! Congratulations Dr Tanya Venture!

Archaeology and Local Studies is an introductory course focusing on the archaeology of the Highlands and Islands and equipping students with the tools to carry out their own archaeological desk based research. Starting September! For more info see below or emily.gal@uhi.ac.uk

This is not an attempt to justify what happened at Stonehenge today, or even to change anyone’s mind about it. I’d simply like to add some context that I feel has been missing from some reports, statements and tweets.

@Toby_Driver1 enjoy!

Cycling North Uist & Benbecula today - stopping for stunning archaeology, frequent crannogs & soaring Hen Harriers. And the sun is shining 🌞 📷Pobull Ffinn (Ffin's People) stone circle, North Uist, this morning

@sianswinton crawling along the single track and not pulling in, then speeding right up once they hit the 2 way

An idea that came to me while stuck behind a slow moving camper van this morning. 🚐✨ Tourist season bingo! ✨🚐 These are all things I have experienced so far this year and it's only mid-May. Feel free to tell me what else to add!

@_AbigailTaylor1 @STVNews @BBCNewsNI @kirstintait @STVLynne @stvsusan @StefaniDailly Congratulations!!

Some personal news 🚨 Last day at @STVNews Dundee, with the best group of journalists and friends. Thanks for all the great memories and laughs. Onto pastures new (sort of). Starting at @BBCNewsNI shortly. Time to take on the home patch 💙

@boardman_claire @UHI_NWH Agreed!

@egalArch @UHI_NWH Would back-to-back PhDs be a bit greedy? Great to see this work being hosted and led locally.

Exciting fully funded PhD opportunity at based at @CSoilleir @UHI_NWH, blending archaeological methodologies with digital heritage, community co creation + oral histories! Please share

@Toby_Driver1 enjoy your trip!

@egalArch Now installed! Thanks Emily 😊

📢 People of Twitter.. I'll be cycling #Mull & the Outer #Hebrides in late May & I'm wondering which archaeological treasures I really shouldn't miss? Callanish & Dun Carloway are on the bucket list - of course. Any other must-see monuments on Uist & Lewis? 🤔 Thanks! 😊👌

@urbanprehisto @AntiquityTAG I found the beer pump badge from TAG manchester that I must have pinched as a souvenir....I think they had one specially brewed?

Found down the back of my desk - the official TAG 2014 combination fridge magnet and bottle opener. Anyone else have one? @AntiquityTAG

We loved bringing the lovely Coinneach @Hebridean_Baker out to explore Bornais - check out the podcast to see what we got up to!
