Our class visited Trusty’s Hill near Gatehouse of Fleet. This is the site of a hill fort which is now believed to have been an important site in the ancient history of Galloway. Click here for BBC News link.

The class had thought about how difficult or easy it would have been to defend or attack a fort, what food the people may have eaten and what type of houses they lived in. Today we visited the old hillfort and found out for ourselves. We had a Viking Feast in the Park after our history walk.
