A major archaeological conference in the Scottish Capital later this month will discuss recent discoveries and projects across the Lothians. Delegates at the conference, which has been organised by Edinburgh City Council and East Lothian Council, will hear first-hand accounts of important fieldwork and research.

Archaeologists and heritage experts will discuss a range of topics, including the discovery of an early Mesolithic settlement at East Barns, Dunbar, the fire-hit Cowgate site and Gilmerton Cove, Edinburgh, during the conference at Appleton Tower in George Square on October 25.

John Lawson, Edinburgh City Council archaeologist, said: "Archeologists working in Edinburgh and its surroundings have had some real firsts over the last few years, including work on some of Scotland’s most mysterious monuments. The discoveries we will be discussing cover 10,000 years, the complete human history of Scotland."

Biddy Simpson, heritage officer for East Lothian Council, said: "Archeological work has uncovered some truly important sites. All of these finds have re-shaped how we can reconstruct the prehistoric past, not just in Lothian, but for the whole of Scotland."
