Have wondered about that old house nearby, where historic gardens are or archaeological sites? Search Canmore<\/a>: it is Scotland’s national record of the historic environment and ‘contains more than 320,000 records and 1.3 million catalogue entries for archaeological sites, buildings, industry and maritime heritage across Scotland’.

find interesting info via images:<\/h2>\n
Images can be a surprising source of background information. Whenever I put together a image-based session or powerpoint on any subject, especially based in Scotland, my go to is SCRAN<\/a>. SCRAN\u00a0‘hosts 90,000 amazing, fully-captioned images, sounds and videos from over 300 museums, galleries, and archives including the V&A, National Galleries of Scotland, Glasgow Museums and The Scotsman’. It is the information in the image’s captions and associated entry records that I use to give a talk or session a seasoning of interest. My favourite object so far is this charm stone used in brewing beer<\/a>.<\/p>\nAnother good source is\u00a0My Learning<\/a>\u00a0– this is based in England and has ‘free learning resources from arts, cultural and heritage organisations’.<\/p>\nPlease do get in touch if you have something to add, we\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n
