🏴 **At the far end of everything: A likely Ahrensburgian presence in the far north of the Isle of Skye, Scotland**
“_ he people who made these artefacts originated in the mainland of northwest Europe, crossed Doggerland into what is now Britain, and eventually reached the far north of the Isle of Skye. Here, they adapted to live in a fragmented, fluctuating, and volatile environment amid melting glaciers, mountains, and oceans—vastly different from the low-lying environments of their homelands on the northwestern edge of the Great European Plain._”
