When will this lunacy end......? If GUARD were running at a loss and in doing so hindering the universities potential to provide other facilities one could feel saddened but recognise the economic expediency of cutbacks or closure. In this instance that is not the case. GUARD seems to be more than breaking even, but still faces closure because it is not realising (what are in the face of a general recession) clearly unrealistic financial targets.
GUARD is a very good archaeological unit and plays a central role in the Scottish archaeological set-up. If it were to go (after the demise of SUAT) I think it would be an extreme blow to Scottish archaeological practice. I'd like to extend my best wishes to everyone at GUARD and I hope you manage to keep the beancounters at bay for many years to come....

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
