Tobermory High – Digging up the Past at the Baliscate Chapel Excavation

Like other schools on Mull, P3-S2 pupils from Tobermory High recently visited the Baliscate archaeological site for an opportunity to talk to the archaeologists, ask questions and see this fascinating find right on our doorstep.

Secondary pupils took part in a simulated dig in class, before they went to understand how an archaeologist works.  The visit links in with the work secondary pupils complete in Social Subjects and RME on Christianity and Columba.

The archaeologists were very welcoming and only too willing to answer questions.  Mr Lowe’s S2 class will now work in conjunction with Mull Museum to produce a guide on the project for children and visitors.  Watch this space!
