About Anster Nicht: ‘WWII Defences of Fife’ by Steve Liscoe

The Scottish Fisheries Museum are excited to be joining forces with our friends at the Anstruther Improvements Association for their next evening talk!

In celebration of Scottish Archaeology Month, join us at Dreel Halls, Anstruther on Thursday, 15 September, for “WII Defences of Fife” presented by Archaeologist Steve Liscoe.

This talk is part of the AIA’s “Anster Nicht” winter talk series as well as our own “Landscapes of War” exhibition - coming soon!

Abstract:
Steve Liscoe of Fife Council’s Archaeological Unit will provide a brief introduction to the Unit followed by an illustrated talk, highlighting the wide range, and large number, of military sites documented in the Unit’s records that relate to the defence of Scotland during 1939-45, particularly those which fortified Fife against attack and invasion. The Archaeological Unit provides historical and archaeological advice and information to Fife Council and deals with archaeological and related enquiries from the public and external organisations. Steve has been part of the Unit since 2004 and is responsible for maintaining and developing the Fife Sites & Monuments Record, containing over 11,000 records of archaeological sites for Fife.
