We had a wonderful day in Faifley on Saturday at our first @RoyalSocEd funded Rock Art Workshop, where we discussed the future of Rock Art research and explored local evidence in the @ClydeValley_ARF area.
Looking forward to the next two workshops in Kirkcudbright and Culloden!
ALT Five people crouch and sit on a large moss-covered stone to take a closer look at the rock art evidence.
ALT Participants of the rock art workshop listening to Helen Spencer give an introductory talk in the Faifley Parish Church, a round church building with wooden benches and wood panelled ceiling.
ALT Participants of the workshop gather in a wooded area, with felled trees, to explore the Auchnacraig stones.
ALT Four people discuss the rock art found on the stones at Auchnacraig woodland park during the fieldtrip. They are standing behind a large stone and amongst trees in the woods.
