Sorry Folks,

I seem to remember a thread referring to a book about a (neolithic period) Tsunami in Scotland. Does anyone recall the name of this book?

Dunno a book about it but I have seen it mentioned in various books and one excavation report for the Stannergate Dundee . It was Mesolithic though 8,000 bc triggered by a landslide in Norway . Inverness and Dundee , I think ,were the main areas that provided the evidence .

Cool, for some reason I thought I read that there was a book on it, or at least a report.
