In 1997, there was an unusually low tide at the river leading out into the sea at Edinburgh. A fisherman had noticed something sticking out of the sand, and returned later with a bunch of men to find out what it was. They dug out this statue of a lion devouring a human. It dates back to when the Romans were in Scotland and this was used as a tomb, probably for a high ranking officer because of it's representation. The Romans were in Scotland because of the gold found in the Highlands. Pretty neat eh?
