The history of Kirkcudbright Bay was explored and recorded by several volunteers and archaeologists from SCAPE and the Nautical Archaeological Society. On the Friday there was a guided walk along the Senwick Shore, then on Saturday and Sunday we learnt about marine archaeology and undertook a survey of the Fauna (pictured). Finally on the Monday a rapid survey was carried out of the Monreith at Dhoon Beach.

This project was carried out as part of the Solway Firth Partnership’s Kirkcudbright Bay Views project, which is being supported by The Galloway Glens Scheme.  

The fieldwork was organised by Solway Firth Partnership and carried out by local volunteers with training and supervision by staff from SFP, Nautical Archaeology Society (NAS) and SCAPE.
