Orkney YAC
Orkney YAC has been running since 2018 and is open to everyone aged 8–16 years. YAC clubs get involved in all sorts of activities, including visiting and investigating archaeological sites and historic places, trying out traditional crafts, taking part in excavations, and lots more.
Orkney YAC meets once a month, usually on a Saturday morning, and charges an annual £5 per family membership fee.

The branch is a CBA-managed club, run by a team of volunteers who are eager to share their enthusiasm for all things relating to Orkney’s archaeology. If you want to know more about how we recruit YAC volunteers and make sure children at YAC clubs are well looked after, check out our FAQs.
Orkney YAC is grateful to the funding and assistance we have received from Orkney Archaeology Society, Orkney Islands Council, Historic Scotland, and all the enthusiastic archaeologists and historians in Orkney.
