As you already know, I really loved this, thank you!
I learnt lots here, and I'm very much looking forward to my next visit to the Black Isle--pretty sure I'll head around the coast to see these caves, too (and say hello to your good self, of course). No idea when I'll next be over, however!
As I said, I'm going to put together a page for these walks, as they otherwise get lost in the archive on my 'Stack. It's on the never-ending to-do list, at least...
A fascinating read Lynn. I have always had an interest in early human history, was fascinated by the work of Louis and Richard Leakey and when I was young dreamed of being an anthropologist, but life had other ideas! It is always interesting to read about finds like Rosemarkie Man and you have really brought the story to life.
Really fascinating and a great read. I grew up in Inverness, lived on the Black Isle and Evanton area for periods of time. I worked at Raddery for many years and used to go down to Rosemarkie and Eathie with the young people I worked with. I enjoyed reading this with a knowledge of the geography. Thank you for taking the time to do such thorough research
Lynn this is an absolutely fascinating read, I watched both videos and could easily have watched much more! That really was a brutal and obviously intended attack - I must ask, did you see the remains as they were found in the photo?
And of course, this is so much more detailed than my own meagre and dreamy attempts at replying to Alex's request (of which I have one left to write for winter solstice - heaven knows when - I'm already panicking!)
This was well worth the wait - Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Susie. I’m glad you agree it’s a fascinating topic - there is so much we don’t know/understand about life in prehistory.
No, I didn’t see the remains but heard about them the next day.
Don’t belittle your writings, lol, we just have different styles. I would like to be able to write in your dreamy style, but it evades me. I’m looking forward to your last offering 🙂

Oh! And the photos are beautiful, too, thanks! Good to be reminded of blue skies!
We have snow lying today - a bit different from the Saharan day in March! 😄
Glad it was worth the wait!
Sounds like a grand Substack outing/adventure next time you're over 🙃
great collaboration
Thank you

Thanks Gill. It’s a great interest to have and one that can be indulged in the background 🙂
Fascinating -- thank you!
Thanks Jan 🙂

Glad you enjoyed it, Tim, and that it brought back some memories for you. The Black Isle has a fascinating history.

Fascinating Lynn, what amazing stories. I'll have to head back to Rosemarkie with my daughter when I'm next up, she'll love the caves:)
Thanks, Sarah - there are so many stories everywhere!
