ARGYLL has not always been the jungle of native scrub, rashes and Japanese knotweed we see today.
A generation or two back much of the land we see as wild and overgrown was farmed, and any weed that dared to pop up its head had it promptly chopped off by a scythe. And this farming tradition goes back thousands of years.
Given this long tradition of cultivation, it is remarkable that three bronze axe heads have lain undiscovered at fairly shallow depths since a time more than 2,000 years before the time of Christ.
