If only the original series could have had Dig Watch. Great seeing all the behind the scenes activity and some familiar faces, including --surprise -- RobWords.

Thank you so much for doing these daily updates, really enjoying seeing all aspects of this dig (and learning some new vocabulary along the way).

RobWords followers will know that Martyn also produces the Words Unravelled podcast that Rob does with Jess Zafarris!

Great to hear more about the local environment at the site. Makes you wonder what hides beneath the waves of the loch.

Another great Dig Watch! I've been sad not to have made the trip to the Ness, but much less so after these great videos. You feel like you're there!!

Your chats today captured the excitement of the cite. I would love to see more of the artwork from Jenny and any other arts work. I really do enjoy these Dig Watches.

That was wonderful, enlightening, unexpected. Thanks Martyn and everyone. It was great to have the opportunity to see the dig continuing. Jeannie should paint a selfie with her stool!

I have seen similar stools used by press photographers at county cricket grounds who, of course, are not allowed to damage the turf.

Laura Magowan

Do I have time to get there from Alaska before the dig is done? I was there in 2025 but it was two weeks before the dig started up again, then had to leave one day before the museum exhibit started.

Bebe Frayle

It’s Rob! Love it. Great dig watch, thank you Martyn ☺️
