There are some inspiring names here - I was very sad to read the post about Blaze O'Connor last year.

Margaret Curtis is a good choice and I will look out for Audrey Henshall's book if I ever get back up to Scotland. Celia Fiennes' description of Stonehenge was charming too.
And all those nameless female archaeology students and volunteers who turn up at digs and carefully work away. (Thanks all)

Also Dr Ros Cleal the knowledgeable curator of the Alexander Keiller Museum in Avebury. She works tirelessly to make the archaeology of Avebury accessible to anyone who is interested. I met her and her equally charming assistant Matilda Webb on an organised walk last year. Matilda had worked for six years on Orkney and was more than happy to talk about her work there.
