Scotsferatu is the new book by Dee Lawlor - dealing with the Vampire in Scottish Culture and Folklore. It's an absolute delight and such a must for spooky season! The title alone drew me in. 🦇🧛‍♂️🧛‍♀️ @THP_Folklore @THP_Local

Today, I penned roughly half an article on buildings archaeology for British Archaeology Magazine. It's scheduled for release in February as a preview for the 2027 Festival of Archaeology, which has the theme of 'Buildings'. 📸 One of the easier buildings to date!
