Was good to nip into Govan Old today, catch-up with Professor Driscoll and Dave from @ArchaeoClyde Glad I went as this year might be the last year of the excavations as they are in the corner of the kirkyard.

As @GovanStones had their open weekend on, it would have been rude not to try and drop in. Amazing the difference from last year to this. Glad I went, as this might be last year of the dig in the corner.
