Found a wee hidden gem in the musuem last week! A #stonecarving from East Lomond Hill of an ox! Dating to c.AD-500-800. Oxen were domesticated by farmers who used them to pull ploughs and heavy loads!

Much else of the archipelago’s material heritage has been destroyed by #VolcanicEruptions and #earthquakes.
