At Skara Brae there is a very well preserved stone age settlement, where there were remains of fish that today are only found around Cornwall. According to Schama, all the evidence is that in the stone age, the Orkney Islands were much warmer than they are now.I've been there several times & presumably these fish remains are in the middens beside the huts... Out of interest, how did they catch the fish?I would suggest a size 20 hook on 3lb monofilament line, with a couple of maggots.

There are plenty of postings in this thread and I havn't trawled through to check, so please forgive me if this has been discussed already. But the Met Office Chief on climate change is feeling a bit peevish about false claims on the climate....http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/pressoffice/2009/pr20090211.html
