Dog walkers find 2,000-year-old footprints on beach in Scotland

The Iron Age human and animal footprints were preserved before high winds destroyed them. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Two friends out walking their dogs along the eastern coast of Scotland unexpectedly found an archaeological goldmine . After wind gusts as strong as 55 mph blew away sand on the dunes of a beach near Angus, Ivor Campbell and Jenny Snedden (along with their pooches Ziggy and Juno) spotted the unique indentations in a layer of long-dried clay. The pair contacted a local archaeologist, and researchers from the University of Aberdeen quickly descended on the picturesque seaside locale to preserve the discoveries.
