Scots unearth ancient 'treasures'
The first Roman tombstone found in Scotland for more than 170 years is among the rare artefacts unearthed by treasure hunters this year.
It forms part of Scotland's annual Treasure Trove, items found by archaeologists or enthusiasts which have been handed to the Crown Office.
Other pieces include a 5,000-year-old axe head, a Bronze Age sword and mysterious carved stone balls.
