[MR] BBC: Viking Boat Grave in Scotland

[Garth Groff]

Noble friends,

This morning the BBC posted a story and brief video on the discovery of 
the first intact UK mainland Viking boat burial. The grave site is 
located on the west coast of Scotland, and contains the remains of a 
high-status warrior, with his sword, axe, and other items. The story 
contains a really nice rendering of what the grave must have looked like 
before it was covered.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
