Ian Pringle

Iain was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and grew up in a small village in neighbouring Fife. He now lives in Lincolnshire, England where he lives with his wife and two sons. He studied Ancient History and Archaeology at Newcastle University and after working for a number of years in outdoor retail, he has since been working as a commercial archaeologist and geophysicist, excavating all over England.  He also spends several weeks each summer on a research excavation in Ardnamurchan, Scotland which has been excavating the area for the past thirteen years uncovering a number of historically important sites. In the austral summer of 2015/16, he worked at Port Lockroy in Antarctica for the United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust.  Here he was part of a four-person team maintaining the buildings, running the museum, shop and Post Office and surveying the penguin colony. He travelled back to Antarctica at the beginning of this year when he spent two months working as an expedition guide.
