Working across Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife, the ELF team are currently made up of nine individuals united by a common interest in rock art and a desire to learn more about it. Keen to contribute to the bank of knowledge and preservation of this intriguing ‘art’ form, we carry out our work in urban and rural areas across the regions.
Although rock art in this part of Scotland is less widespread than in some other areas, we do have great examples set in stunning (and sometimes challenging to reach!) locations, and there are many other interesting panels held in storage which we hope to help record.
As many of us are busy Monday to Friday, we tend to go out on Sunday afternoons, getting in touch beforehand to coordinate transport and times. Although some of us had a little relevant experience prior to volunteering with ScRAP, your average ELF generally falls into the category of ‘enthusiastic amateur’, with diverse backgrounds ranging from students to the retired.
Most of us did not know each other prior to the ScRAP training session that took place in September 2018, and we’re a friendly bunch who are happy to welcome new members to the team – so please get in touch (by contacting us via the ScRAP Team: scrap@hes.scot) if you’re interested in getting involved!
