Steve Birch was a site director of the community dig team which uncovered the archaeology of the former Royal Burgh of Medieval Cromarty during 2013-16.
He has since been involved in digs all over the Highlands and recently in the investigation of the high pasture cave in Skye, a site on the edge of a settlement which shows signs of activity from Neolithic times, the Bronze Age and Early to Middle Scottish Iron Age.
He will be sharing some of his discoveries with Cromarty History Society on Tuesday, October 15 in the Victoria Hall at 7.30pm when, as usual, the meeting will be followed by refreshments.
History society members will look forward to hear about the discoveries of Steve and his team in advance of his book about the dig which will be published next February by Oxbow Books.
Free to members, visitors are charged £5. But the annual membership fee for meetings from October to April is only £15.
