Become an archaeology detective, see if your finds are valuable and hear from dig ex-perts about their research at the National Museum of Scotland.

A range of free workshops are on offer at the museum’s Archaeology Detectives event this weekend.

Families will be able to see what evidence they can excavate in a reconstruction dig pit, sort through their finds and try out ancient technologies.
