Very sorry to hear of the passing of Declan Hurl. He played a key consultancy role in the work at Dunragit, and had an illustrious archaeology career. He will be sadly missed and I will always remember the craic we had with him @iai @QUBelfast

A Dutch duit from the province of Overijssel was found during our 2020 excavations in Leith. Dating to 1628 and commonly found across Scotland, shows the strong trade links with this Dutch province. #Archaeology #FindsFriday #ConstitutionStreet #Leith https://t.co/V1r8ml7T3r

Some of the most interesting finds from our excavations are coins, like this billon lion of Mary Queen of Scots and Francis II of France from 1559. #Archaeology #FindsFriday #ConstitutionStreet #Leith
