AMATEUR archaeologists have uncovered evidence of Scotland's oldest human settlement, dating back 14,000 years.
The team dug up tools that have been shown to date from the end of the last Ice Age.
It is the first time there has been proof that humans lived in Scotland during the upper paleolithic period.

Considering the lower sea levels at that time they must have really been Highlanders

Except that the club insists that that area was under ice for the next few thousand years.
Bit of a problem there.

That the same glacier that brought the boulders to Stonehenge?

Oh come off it Min! I keep telling you no one who has read the original paper on that believes that they were deposited on the plain, with or without a delivery note!
