Cliff & Picts

Medieval history, improvement landscapes, reptilian footprints, millstones, quarries – and Picts at Burghead..

Duffus to the coast, then along the cliff and shore to Hopeman; on to Burghead and back to Duffus via Inverugie, will be the route that Dr John Barrett will take on this walk, where he’ll be talking about medieval history, improvement landscapes, reptilian footprints, millstones, quarries – and Picts at Burghead.

Barrett is a professional archivist and writer who now lives on Speyside in Scotland. He has published original research into historic landscapes and archive sources throughout Britain and Ireland in popular and academic articles, and (with David Iredale) in four `Shire’ Discovering books. He’s also the writer of The Making of a Scottish Landscape which explores the change of the Moray countryside – and offers an intimate portrait of people in the landscape on the distant shoulder of northeast Scotland.
