The Carpow Log Boat

Hello again

It's been a while, sorry. I was in Scotland recently. On my drive back to Glasgow I tuned in to BBC Radio Scotland and heard a very familiar voice, that of the wonderful Scottish poet, Kenneth Steven. He was interviewing an archaeologist about the late-Bronze Age log boat that was found in the River Tay, the so-called Carpow Log Boat, probably some three thousand years old!

More about the boat can be found, among a number of other sites, at:

and the earlier

Unfortunately, the BBC Radio Scotland website doesn't seem to have the programme online, but there are some audio and video links at
