>> do you have a project?

This website has been designed to act as an information point on all historic rural settlement research and recording that is happening across Scotland. This means that we want to hear from you about any work you might be doing either on your own, or through your group or organisation. This could be anything from photographic recording or detailed investigation of a township site to analysing and synthesising existing information to answer one of the many research questions that exist.

If you are involved in a project, we would like to hear from you and to share your information with other visitors to this website. All you need to do is send an e-mail to info@molrs.org.uk with the following information:

  • Your name/ the name of your organisation
  • A contact name/address - for display on the website
  • The name of your project
  • A brief description of what you are doing (no more than 250 words)
  • When you started
  • When the project will finish (if you have a clear end-date in mind)
  • Whether you plan to publish the results (and where, even if it is in your Group's newsletter)
  • A photo of the site (optional - only if you have one)

Do you have project reports in electronic form? (.doc, .txt, .pdf)
If you would like to submit a report to the HRSG website please attach your file(s) to an email and send it to info@molrs.org.uk along with your details (see above).

In time we would hope to build up a list of projects that have been undertaken and where people can find a report of the results.

You may also be interested in contributing to the Council for Scottish Archaeology Journal Discovery and Excavation in Scotland which contains information about most of the fieldwork undertaken in Scotland each year. For details of how you can have your summary published in DES, contact the Hon. Editor via csa@nms.ac.uk.

You may also wish to visit the website of the Scotland’s Rural Past project, which has been set up to support local communities across Scotland in investigating deserted rural settlements dating from the medieval and post-medieval periods.
