“…So these more extensive surveys were undertaken using aerial photography. Typical of such surveys were those carried out at Lix in Perthshire and Rosal in Sutherland (Fairhurst & Petrie, 1964); and at Auchindrain in Argyll, this last survey being carried out for the Countryside Commission for Scotland. Similar detailed mapping operations were carried out for the deserted villages of Guirdhil (Figure 3), Harris and Kilmory during the Rhum mapping project and the results handed over to historical geographers and archaeologists in the Department for further study.…”

Mapping scientists at the University of Glasgow have achieved widespread recognition for expertise in and contributions to the survey, cartography and map production. Besides pure research in this field, they have carried out numerous mapping projects in collaboration with field scientists engaged in a wide range of research activities. In particular, they have used expertise to (1) carry out the detailed and highly accurate measurements of the topography and the specialized thematic information that was required for the areas covered by these projects; and (2) present results in the form of numerous multi-coloured maps generated in both digital and hard-copy form. The mapping outputs from these projects have made significant contributions to the scientific advances achieved.

In addition to pottery, sherds of wine bottles were also recovered, with a number of styles evidenced from the form of bases and necks.…”
