'nomadic groups of hunter-gatherers from the Ahrensburgian culture followed animal herds across Doggerland until they reached the far north of the Isle of Skye, where they encountered a landscape that was drastically changing due to melting glaciers. “The journey made by these pioneering people who left their lowland territories in mainland Europe to travel northwards into the unknown, is the ultimate adventure story,” said University of Glasgow archaeologist Karen Hardy.'
