Archaeology Institute Uhi

But what do you do if your students are spread over the whole of northern Scotland? Well you run two field trips in one day...even if they are 300 miles apart.

This is Ross's last official writing as part of the UHI Archaeology Institute marketing team, so it just remains for me to say........Thanks for all your hard work over the summer, Ross and good luck for the future.
