    3. I'm sure our local listers know about this, but the news even made it across the pond to me! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-23896997 Did any of us have ancestors there? 'Course, we'll never know, but it's fun to speculate. There are several Black Lochs in D&G. I assume this find is in Mochrum. Locals, is this the correct Black Loch? http://tinyurl.com/jw7fwhu. If you're like me and challenged by such Gaelic words as crannog, you can broaden your vocabulary at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crannog (helpful pics included). Lastly, if you'd like to follow the archaeological progress, "like" The Whithorn Trust on Facebook. Here are some photos: http://tinyurl.com/kg4nekn. Enjoy! Mary
