Future Projects?

....more to the point: what do we do next?

Here are some possibilites: tell me what you think.....


Pinkie Battlefield Walk(s):
East Lothian Archaeology Service are calling for Events for East Lothian Archaeology & Local History Fortnight --- September 4th to 20th.
I would like to propose that we offer Guided Walks on two days -- Friday, September 10th, the anniversary of the battle, and Saturday or Sunday, September 11th or 12th.
If you would like to help with this (by planning and/or guiding) -- just e-mail me at AndrewCoulson@btinternet.com.
If you would like to go on one of the tours -- comment positively, here or by email; and that brings me on to the second possible project:

Pinkie Website
For the moment, this does not yet exist -- but in the next few days, I will set one up as part of the Musselburgh Conservation Society site. What I will put there is:

• Future Events
• History resources -- images, documents, maps. I have a number of interesting things for this already, and will be glad to hear of other material suitable for scanning or loading.....
• Links to related sites -- map libraries, local history resources, other battle sites, etc
• ..... whatever else you may suggest.......

Resources for Schools
Are there any teachers in local schools who would like to help in using the battle for a classroom local history project or study?

A great thing about all the projects so far ------ is that they don't need any money. The bigger projects below will need an organisation behind them which can raise funding, so they are not going to take off in the immediate future. But there's no harm in saying now what we'd like to hope for in the next year or two!:

Battlefield Trail, with information boards and a printed or audio guide

Interpretation/exhibition centre

Community History & Archaeology Project

.......again, please let me know what you think -- by commenting here or
by emailing me at Andrew.Coulson@ed.ac.uk
