Having served Scottish archaeology in various capacities (including as Council member and Vice President of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland) during my 32.5 year long employment in National Museums Scotland (1987–2019), I continue to serve Scottish archaeology during my retirement, including as the Society’s 2020 Rhind Lecturer; a contributor to various Regional
Research Frameworks (following my earlier work, 2008–2013, as Co-Chair of the National ScARF Neolithic panel); as a Board member of Urras nan Tursachan; and as a Trustee of Bute Museum, inter alia. I believe that my skills and experience pertaining to the heritage sector will be of use to the Society and I am keen to help the Society to flourish.
