SCAPE is a charity that seeks to research, conserve and promote the archaeology of Scotland's coast. SCAPE is especially interested in remains that are threatened by coastal erosion. This website contains pages that will tell you about our projects.

SCAPE manages and undertakes a variety of projects including Coastal Zone Assessment Surveys and several excavations. We also run the award winning Shorewatch project which encourages and assists members of local communities to become involved in practical archaeology and help salvage threatened sites.
