Ditto with all these bloody shows when they are diving for shipwrecks and they already know what was onboard. What a waste of money when you could be diving off the coast of Scotland or Ireland for the other stone circles that have been claimed by the sea since the last iceage. OR you could be at Yonaguni or north west India looking at ancient sites which would allow us to date them based on sea level rise.

Phew, rant over :)

The Scottish coast line is in the main higher now due to isotonic uplift after the ice .

I couldn't find anything specific to the Scottish coastline but here is something about the Swedish coastline which is probably similar.

But the land between Scotland and Ireland was above sea level during the Iceage, and there are partial stone circles on some scottish islands where the rest is (supposedly) in the sea.
