Are you studying Scotland’s ancient people? Can’t manage a visit to Archaeolink? Help is at hand – Archaeolink will come to you!

A costumed guide will visit your school/group to tell you more about the ancient past. Find out how these people lived and worked. What tools they used? What their food was like and how they cooked? What weapons they had? The guide will bring along artefacts, which the group will be able to handle. The children will be able to see demonstrations of ancient technology and take part in prehistoric crafts.
