Rock Art Project
Introduction
In October 2017 various interested members of SDLHS enjoyed 2 days of training covering all aspects of rock art recording methods including locating and identifying rock art, using the recording form, photographing rock art and 3D photography (photogrammetry). The participants also took part in some field work trying out their new skills.
The training days were led by Dr Tertia Barnett who is the Principal Investigator of Scotland’s Rock Art, a 5 year project aiming to improve understanding of Scotland’s rock art.
Please see www.rockart.scot for further information about the national project. Please check back here for updates on the progress made by the Strachur Group.

An unfortunate siting of a telegraph pole! During the recording of this we were joined by 2 of the farm dogs who made the whole process even more difficult
We were treated to some outstanding views in the course of our work
