The guided walk around Trusty’s Hill last week, proved also to be an opportunity for the Gatehouse Development Initiative to promote the new exhibition on Trusty’s Hill at the Mill on the Fleet Museum in Gatehouse. Created in partnership with GUARD Archaeology, the new exhibition panels tell the story of Trusty’s Hill and how the finds from the Galloway Picts Dig last year have changed how this site is now perceived. This exhibition is to form the core of a much bigger exhibition, that accompanying the artefacts from the excavation, will tour a variety of museums across Dumfries and Galloway next year.

Meanwhile, the training of local volunteers, who can now explain Trusty’s Hill and what the recent finds reveal about the significance of this ancient hillfort, is evidently paying off and, along with the permanent exhibition at the Mill on the Fleet, demonstrates the local legacy that last year’s Galloway Picts Project has successfully created.
