In Dumfries and Galloway, volunteers have been sought for a survey of the ruins of what is described as an industrial ghost town.Lead was mined and smelted at the site until the 1870s. The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland's Dig It! project will be gathering details on the archaeological finds made at locations across Scotland.Now into its fourth year, Dig It! celebrates excavations and other fieldwork taking place between 21 June and 22 September.
