Rampart Scotland was set up to offer a refreshing approach to training in archaeology through a well established research plan. The programme is designed to enable learning, discovery and enjoyment in field archaeology skills under the guidance of professionals.

Set in the Lammermuir Hills that form the southern backdrop to the beautiful county of East Lothian and only 25 miles from Edinburgh the capital city of Scotland, the project will investigate the ancient hillforts that until now have remained un-excavated.

White Castle (subject to Scheduled Monument Consent) will be the first hillfort surveyed and excavated (see photograph right). It is dramatically perched on the old route through the Lammermuir hills and commanding stunning views across East Lothian to Traprain Law, the centre for the Iron Age tribe known as the Votadini.
