Archaeology publications

A guide to over 100 archaeological and historic sites

Our Archaeology Service has published the Heritage Explorer, a booklet celebrating the rich heritage of East Lothian. The booklet provides an outline of the archaeology and history of the county, from the prehistoric period to the recent past. Over 100 sites to see or visit have been included, with descriptions, photos and maps.

Explore standing stones, hillforts and castles, find out about battlesites and churches, and discover harbours, gardens and doocots. It is just what is needed to help you get out and about in the county, and to discover the heritage on your doorstep!

The Heritage Explorer is on sale for £4, available from libraries and museums.
