Planks may be lost boat's cargo

Planks may be lost boat's cargo
Oak planks found near a school may be from the cargo of a 14th Century log boat discovered nearby but later lost.

Workers digging a drainage ditch at Acharacle Primary School on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula uncovered the five pieces of wood last year.

Archaeologists suggested they might be the boat's cargo, or a cache of timber kept in a peat bog to stop them drying out before being worked on later.

The boat was thought to have been found between 1895 and 1905.

Such craft were used to guide rafts of felled oak through Loch Shiel onto the River Shiel for shipment to other parts of Scotland.
