Followed "herds" of ancient polar bears over the ice?

Or lost penguins?

Seals! They came for the seals!

Seriously, I guess we need to know exactly when Scotland was under ice and when it wasn't. I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning for that google search though. ::needs coffee drinking smiley::

At the last GM ice is supposed to have reached almost to London JS, the Thames and the Severn being form formed by the run off. At that point Britain was part of the European land mass and the Thames a tributary of the Rhine which formed the English Channel. North of that was 'dry' land upto the ice sheet. As the ice sheet extended across what is now the North Sea there would have been water running through Doggerland as the ice receeded. The various interactive maps that I have seen suggest that Doggerland was wet before the ice in Scotland had melted,
