2000 Season
Fieldwork in the region.
The work planned for Hilton, Shandwick and Nigg is still in abeyance while all resources are concentrated on the slow and difficult workshop strata.
Barry Grove's fine replica of the Hilton of Cadboll stone was erected in September 2000 (FIG 8). This was preceded by a brief prophylactic excavation by Historic Scotland.
Display.
A major review of the display to reflect the final interpretation is planned when fieldwork is finished in 2003. Tarbat Historic Trust continues with discussions and consultations to look for new ways of developing the Tarbat peninsula as a research forum and visitor attraction.
