3 years ago today, a week before lockdown, the Courier features team was ‘sent home’ as the #Covid_19 situation unfolded. Life has never been quite the same, but for sure - we can be proud of the 156 Weekend mags & online content written & produced almost entirely at home since!

Weather not much better up the East Lomond in #Fife today - but that didn’t stand in the way of some amazing Pictish/post-Roman #archaeology being uncovered!

Well, conditions couldn’t have been much worse when I arrived at the #archaeological dig on #EastLomond in #Fife this morning. But at least the drenching was warm(ish) before proceedings were abandoned for the day!.A glimpse of fascinating discoveries. We go again tomorrow…
