THERE have been calls for an archaeological dig to take place in Stonehouse.
In the past there have been attempts to get digs arranged, as the village has a number of historical sites of interest, but so far none have taken place.
Fred McDermid, of Boghall Road, is one resident who thinks it’s time for a dig in Stonehouse, which has records dating back to the ninth century.
He said: “We hear regularly about archaeological digs taking place in various parts of the country which reveal finds of great interest. How about one in Stonehouse? This village has a very long history and there must be a great deal of history to be revealed.
Hey, someone out there come up with the money and we'll direct it ourselves.
