This group has existed for a number of years and was the 'parent' of the important Scotland's Rural Past Project.
But once SRP was up and running, the parent rather lost its way and purpose and diminished to a trickle - and stopped.
With SRP now wound up and finished - having achieved a huge increase in knowledge and awareness of the issues - it might be time to re-activate the Group.
I attended a meeting on Thursday and plans were laid to link to a much wider audience than in the past - including former SRP groups, academic bodies and others with an interest in the history and archaeology of Scotland's rural past.
The website, too, will be revived and updated - it has been dormant for far too long.

So, watch this space.
