Historic Environment Scotland run Parkaeology event at Holyrood Park

Parkaeology, a new event run by Historic Environment
Scotland (HES), takes place this weekend (Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 September) at
Holyrood Park.

Part of the Scottish Archaeology Month celebrations,
families can get hands-on with archaeology in Edinburgh’s ancient park.

Holyrood Park is home to nationally important archaeological
sites dating back thousands of years. Kids can meet some of the archaeologists
responsible for looking after these precious and fragile archaeological
remains, hear first-hand about exciting research projects and take a walk
around the park to visit a real dig taking place.

Families will also get the chance to get hands on with
activities such as a mock archaeology dig, handling boxes, trying on Roman
armour, and clay pot making.
