Elf-shot
A young brother and sister discovered a "strangely shaped" stone on Arthur’s Seat identified as a Bronze Age arrowhead. Good thing they had not wandered into an Alan Garner story.
They handed it over to the Museum of Scotland, where staff identified the stone as an early Bronze Age flint arrowhead, dating from as long ago as 2000BC. It has now been donated to the Museum of Edinburgh on the Royal Mile.
Alan Saville, Senior Curator of Earliest Prehistory at the National Museums of Scotland, said: "This arrowhead helps to throw light on the importance of the Arthur’s Seat area for Bronze Age settlement."
