A beautiful end to @DoorsOpenDays. Big thanks to @scotcivictrust for coordinating, @PKHeritageTrust for bringing it to P&K and our volunteers, sponsors and venues for making it happen in Strathearn!

They're really quite friendly folk, these Romans... Was great to have the @AntonineGuard over at @Innerpeffray as part of our 'Roman Strathearn', made possible by @GannochyTrust.

Lovely weather for @DoorsOpenDays
@Innerpeffray today. There's a talk on the Romans in Caledonia and even some legionaries! The library is a truly hidden gem in the middle of Perthshire countryside, with a trove of books dating back centuries.
More people should visit it!

[Doors Open Days @DoorsOpenDays]

Have we found two survivors of Rome’s lost legion kicking aboot in Crieff? 🧐

Today @Innerpeffray are taking visitors through a day in the life of a Roman soldier...do you think you have what it takes? ⚔️

We be hanging out at the turf enclosure up the hill - see you there 😎

[Crieff & Strathearn Museum @CrieffMuseum]

Join us at @Innerpeffray today for a day in the life of a Roman soldier - talks and maps on Roman Strathearn, replica objects and actual Romans from the @AntonineGuard!

That just flew up! Interlacing turf with thin branches apparently helped the Romans cast up their ramparts very quickly. Gave it a first trim to tidy up the sides, and back tomorrow for finishing touches. Thanks for a great day @EdinArchSoc, @HGendersBoyd and @ComrieCroft

@CrieffTownClock @DoorsOpenDays @ComrieCroft Oops, I did it again... 😳

[Crieff & Strathearn Museum @CrieffMuseum]

Timber splitting, branch cutting and bank leveling, all in the name of turd building for @DoorsOpenDays today at @ComrieCroft. Stay tuned for updates on the rampart going up!

[Give Crieff A Chance @CrieffTownClock]

A good day @DoorsOpenDays throughout #Perthshire especially @ComrieCroft & @Innerpeffray with @CrieffMuseum #Romans #Turfbuilding #Gladiator #RomanFort #RomanLife Interesting talks & artefacts await #IntrepidExplorers #HaveFunInTheSun #GaskRidgeWalk #Ardoch #RomanCycleTourMap 🤘

Another week, another turf build. What a joy to build this 'roundhouse' turf bench at @ComrieCroft for @EdinArchSoc ahead of @crieffmuseum's 'Roman Strathearn' @DoorsOpenDays event, coordinated in Perth and Kinross by @PKHeritageTrust.

[Doors Open Days @DoorsOpenDays]

Comrie Croft in Perth & Kinross is a farm steading that has been transformed into a permaculture croft buzzing with life! 🐝🦆

Explore the farm, tea garden and mountain bike trials and help archaeologists from @EdinburghUni build a Roman turf wall: https://t.co/uZ94qY0a4h

[HCAatEdinburgh @HCAatEdinburgh]

#HCA academics are showing that the ancient method of building with turf could be the future for eco-friendly structures, carbon capture and increased biodiversity, https://t.co/LCcOlbJE0a @EdinArchSoc @EdinburghUni @CrieffMuseum @DoorsOpenDays @ComrieCroft #archaeology

Another interesting turf structure going up. It's been great working with folk from @ComrieCroft, @EdinArch and @abercairny to throw up this new structure ahead of @CrieffMuseum's Roman Stratearn @DoorsOpenDays event at the Croft this Saturday.
