Article Summaries:
- Storms along Britain’s coast have temporarily exposed 2,000‑year‑old footprints on Lunan Bay in Angus, Scotland. The human and animal imprints, dating to the era of Boudicca, early Christianity, and the Roman Empire, are among only a handful of such markings found in the UK. Shifting sands revealed the marks, which were quickly spotted by local residents. The discovery offers a rare glimpse into prehistoric activity on the Scottish shoreline, though the footprints are expected to erode again as the beach reshapes.
