Hundreds of children from schools in Aberdeenshire are taking part in a major dig to help uncover the location of a long-lost Pictish monastery.
Unidentified ruins have been found in the search for the site near Old Deer.
It's believed one of Scotland's most significant manuscripts 'The Book of Deer' was written there.
Now pupils have been invited to help the excavation.
