An #IronAge weaving comb from the Scottish Crannog Centre made of whale bone. The 'teeth' of the comb were used to push the weft (the horizontal threads that run across the width of a woven piece of fabric) to create a tighter weave. #Scotland #history

Textiles are rare finds due to Scotland's climate, so why did the Galloway Hoard ones survive underground for 1,100 years? π§΅ According to Susanna Harris, copper created a poisonous environment, making them inhospitable to microbes that like to feed on them: digitscotland.com/poisonous-woolβ¦

Have you heard of a crannog? In Scotland, 2,500 years ago, some people lived in these Iron Age loch-dwellings. On Loch Tay in Perthshire, 17 crannogs have been found and now a replica is the showpiece of the Scottish Crannog Centre π· IG/kateinscotland_ #Scotland #CrannogCentre
