Along with a group of wooden wrecks, a boat graveyard on the River Clyde is home to (possibly) the world's oldest diving support vessel 🤿
Built in 1852, workmen were sent down in a metal box to manually excavate the riverbed or lay explosives: https://t.co/T4TjObeaUh

Genetic analysis has found that a Pictish man who was killed and buried in a cave in the Highlands 1,400 years ago had links to #Orkney 🧬
Known as “Rosemarkie Man”, his genetics were found to be most similar to other Iron Age individuals from Westray: https://t.co/t16UNEwxeH
Over 1,800 years ago, the Antonine Wall was built across Scotland's central belt to mark the edge of the Roman Empire ⚔️
It was protected by forts with small fortlets between them, including Watling Lodge: https://t.co/my8Rp58NX2

A Pictish man who had a "brutal death" about 1,400 years ago could have been royalty 👑
In 2016, “Rosemarkie Man” was found in a cave in the Black Isle in the #Highlands.
The man enjoyed a high-protein diet, suggesting he was a high-status individual: https://t.co/FDXPeFoy8h
In 2006, a Neolithic bowl containing milk-derived fats was found in Clackmannanshire 🧀
Although these early "dairy farmers"may have been lactose intolerant, they could probably digest processed items like cheese: https://t.co/naTi8ocDXm
