Ralph enjoyed exploring Chester Roman fort on Hadrian’s Wall today and was excited to discover he wasn’t the first of his kind to roam the precincts. Hail Roman Ralph!

Tonight will be the last time ever l experience that old Sunday night ‘school in the morning’ feeling, which in itself feels a bit weird. IYKYK. youtu.be/L2IuPjpAHnI?si=TMi4…

With everything telling me Loudon Hill should be next in line, once imminent retirement gifts me the time, here’s a 5 minute take on Bannockburn. youtu.be/SviVbsz7SuM?si=jaCt…

Really sorry to hear this news. Dr Anna Ritchie contributed so much to Scottish archaeology, including her work at Skara Brae, which is still fresh in the memory after visiting on Sunday. nessofbrodgar.co.uk/knap-of-…

Sad to leave the mother ship & fellow travellers in Aberdeen this morning after a wonderful week, though it was with the feeling of a job well done.

Visited another page out of an archaeological textbook today, albeit a bit of a damp page.

View from the office this morning. You might be thinking Balamory, but l’m thinking When Eight Bells Toll. Pretty sure Robert Morley and Anthony Hopkins are on that nice looking cruiser.

Great to bump into @james_2904 while recording new content for #TheWarsBeneathOurFeet. No prizes for guessing which battlefield we are hitting next. Safe travels Jim.

Love this @ProfTonyPollard
Everything that I adore about military history. Facts through evidence that change and evolve through meticulous research. Bloody marvellous!

The whole movie was about his clever little plastic gun which could beat security. Who knew all you needed to do was run fast to get guns and knives and shit through?

A few of our now 1000 subscribers have asked who the Jacobites were, so here’s a short primer. Late next week on The Wars Beneath Our Feet we’re walking our battle boots over another Scottish battlefield. youtu.be/YwguU1a-nIw?si=q0qf…
