Our Vision 2025 – To Make Archaeology Matter
We want to live in a Scotland where archaeology is for everyone! A place where the study of the past offers opportunities for us now and in the future to discover, care for, promote and enjoy our rich and diverse heritage, contributing to our wellbeing and knowledge and helping to tell Scotland’s stories in their global context.
This Strategy has been developed by the Scottish Strategic Archaeology Committee, following a consultation in 2015.

Celebrating Archaeology in Scotland showcases the great work taking place across Scotland and promotes how people from all corners of the heritage sector are delivering the aims of Scotland’s Archaeology Strategy. This year’s issue covers a wide variety of subjects, from project updates and new research, to changes in heritage practice that will have a wide reaching impact on Scottish Archaeology.
Equality and Diversity Statement –
When we say We want a Scotland where archaeology is for everyone this means it will be inclusive. Scotland’s archaeological heritage will reflect the past and present diversity of its population, and this will allow everyone who seeks to experience, enjoy, study or work in archaeology to find a place for themselves in its practice. Those committed to delivering the Strategy must ensure that:
- All members of our archaeological community and stakeholders are treated with fairness, dignity and respect
- We uphold and value ‘protected characteristics’ and so will not discriminate on grounds of, including but not limited to, age, disability, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or gender reassignment
- We will challenge inequalities and remove barriers to equality and diversity in archaeological activities.
