Meet at Kinloss Abbey at 11:00. Steve Worth will give an extended tour; this will include the historical side of the abbey, as per normal tours (see https://kinlossabbey.org/). He'll include more of the archaeological side and also explain his research; why, where etc. (see also report). We are flexible on timings whilst there.
Timings: 11:00 at abbey
11:00 - 13:30 tour of the abbey.
13:30 - 14:00 lunch
14:00 - 15:30 tour of the dunes.
Lunch: People can bring packed lunches / drinks with them, plus camping chairs. If the weather is slightly inclement, we can have lunch at the abbey, the sacristy is under cover. If the weather is fair, we can relocate to the dunes for a seaside lunch.
Michael Sharpe will then take over and lead a walking tour across the dunes to the various sites he has found / excavated. Mesolithic - WW2.
If people want to, we can go to the Heritage centre afterwards. Heritage centre is free to enter, donations gratefully received. The Captain's Table is close by for a well-earned ice-cream.
