In just weeks, from October 20-24, three archaeologists (Fiona Baker, Tom Addyman, and David Connolly) are lined up to tackle the Phase II preservation work on Ellan Vhow and, potentially, Phase III EDM and Standing Buildings Survey! Licensed tree surgeon, Liam Mckenzie, and local bat expert, Helen Lundie, complete the team.
Phase II is committed and funded for preservation of the castle cellar and castle walls ... coppicing threatening trees and trimming ivy to remove weight and retard root damage. Of course, our bat expert will confirm that our guest bat is not resident at the time and the areas around his roost will be undisturbed.
Ellan Vhow is located in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs national park, but is not part of the park property. It is visited by hundreds of visitors each year who enjoy the solitude and the history ... as well as the flora and fauna.
These works will help preserve this historical archaeological site for generations to come. This has all come to pass from that initial high-school independent study sixteen months ago, a keen eye to recognize the opportunity for an expedited SMC, ficeand the energy inspired in those who had been hoping to preserve Ellan Vhow for two decades.
Thank you for all your support!
