The excavation of Niddry Castle would not have taken place without the initiative of John Reid in seeking archaeological advice from St. Andrews Heritage Services in 1985. As Project Manager of the restoration of Niddry, he assured that the excavation took place and could be completed. Proc.Soc.Antiq.Scot, 127 (1997), 783-842.

 He was awarded the Professor Robertson Prize for his work.

Sybil Cavanagh (guest speaker), Ron Dingwall (HAA chairman), Fiona Hyslop MSP (Cabinet Secretary for Education), Mrs Jessie Kerr, Councillor Stuart Borrowman, Jim McGregor (book editor) and Mary Mulligan MSP are shown at the launch of Robert Kerr's Armadale in Minutes on Wednesday 12 March 2008 at The Goth in Armadale.  Armadale Concert Ensemble provided the evening's musical entertainment (video).

Ron Dingwall held two roles that evening, as Master of Ceremonies and as Chairman of the History of Armadale Association whose successful National Lottery Awards for All bid funded the preparation, publication and launch of the book.

Sybil Cavanagh, Local History Librarian, gave the launch address with warm words of praise and appreciation. After the speeches, she and Mrs Kerr were presented with flowers.

Special thanks must go to the principal organiser of the event, Betty Hunter, who co-ordinated the fitting tribute to many years of painstaking research.

Caterers A.C. Sherlock of Blackridge provided a wonderful spread that was quickly tasted and enjoyed!
