Archaeological Metal Detecting Survey at Killiecrankie Battlefield

As part of the Scottish Government’s work to dual the A9, a major metal detecting survey was undertaken in August 2015 on the site of the Battle of Killiecrankie. This survey work provided further information for developing the plans to dual the A9 between Killiecrankie and Pitagowan and unearthed new finds and improved our knowledge of Scotland’s military history of the 1689 battle between the Jacobite army and Government forces.
