and further up the lane another  15 minutes walk to the Baliscate Chapel Site recently filmed by Time Team .............................

Island Holiday Cottage's Hylda Marsh and friend Bev Langhorn made a remarkable discovery through their work with 'Scotland's Rural Past' leading to a visit in May from Channel 4's Time Team.

 

Scotland's Rural Past is a volunteer led survey by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS).

 

What they found turned out to be one of the most important finds ever featured on the programme, which has been running for 17 years.

 

To see what was found and to see the latest progress with the site please go to www.baliscate.co.uk
