Cammo Estate Dig 2026

Come and join the Edinburgh Archaeological Field Society (EAFS) team on a dig at Cammo Estate, an area packed full of archaeology and hidden stories just waiting to be uncovered – by you!

Currently the main focus of interest is in the Walled Garden where they are attempting to identify the extent of the 18th- and 19th-century glasshouses. They are also digging the site of an outbuilding to try and ascertain its previous purpose.

Volunteers, with or without previous experience, are welcome to join every Monday, weather permitting. Please bring sturdy shoes, sun protection, water, and a packed lunch.

If you would like to participate, please email volunteer@eafs.org.uk.

While Dig It! takes every opportunity to ensure that this information is accurate, we advise that you contact the event organiser before attending the event to avoid disappointment. As “39% of transport emissions come from cars” according to Net Zero Nation, Dig It! also encourages you to walk, wheel, cycle or use public transport to arrive at this event if possible.
