Models were created in 3D modelling programs and imported into OpenSim (an online, open-source, cross-platform, 3D multi-user virtual environment). The models were then scaled, oriented and assembled. The landscapes were populated with flora and fauna. Evidence The SCAPE Trust and the Clyne Heritage Society carried out a fifth season of excavation of salt pans at the Back Beach in Brora, East Sutherland. The excavation was funded by Historic Scotland, and their support is gratefully acknowledged. The site was excavated by volunteers who, once again, made the most significant contribution to the success and the outcomes of this important project. This year’s excavation saw the completion of the excavation of the building in Trench 9 on the site of the ‘Old Salt House’, marked on John Farey’s 1813 Mineral Map of the Coal Field at and near Brora. The eastern half of this building was fully excavated in 2010. The remainder of the building was actively eroding. Deposits on the south (beach) side of the building had already been largely destroyed before the excavation. - Back Beach, Brora, Sutherland report by Joanna Hambly The SCAPE Trust For the FULL Report, please interact with the Gallery above.

In 2009, a community excavation of the site took place. The Brora saltpans community archaeology project: a partnership between the Clyne Heritage Society and the SCAPE Trust. The project documents a significant archaeological site in the town of Brora in Sutherland, Scotland. Producing salt was a very important industry in Scotland and the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Using coal from the most northerly outcrop in the UK, the Sutherland Estate constructed industrial buildings to house saltpans, large metal trays used to evaporate seawater. Using laser scan data, together with supporting information from the excavation, we have created a virtual reconstruction of the Salt Pans as they would have stood in the 16th and 18th centuries. The site at the time of the dig and scan was under dire threat from coastal erosion; now, sadly, after some particularly bad storms in 2012 and 2013, the site has all but been washed away. This highlights the importance of recording and learning from these coastal erosion sites that are in danger before they are lost. The Brora Salt Pans project was a collaboration between Clyne Heritage Society, the SCAPE Trust, Timespan Museum and Arts Centre, and the University of St Andrews.
