Major dig at earliest Scots site

A big archaeological dig is taking place at the site in South Lanarkshire where the earliest evidence of human beings in Scotland was found.

The Biggar Archaeology Group is beginning a major excavation of the area at Howburn Farm near Elsrickle.

Last month it was revealed that flint artefacts unearthed there could date back 14,000 years to 12,000 BC.

Not much there.
